Summary
A body was pulled from San Francisco Bay near Treasure Island on Thursday after a passing vessel alerted police during sonar scanning operations.
San Francisco police said the person was declared dead at the scene and will be identified by the medical examiner after next of kin are notified.
The recovery came days after a boat carrying 20 people sank near Alcatraz Island, leaving one person dead, three missing and 16 rescued; authorities have not confirmed any link.
Search-and-recovery efforts for the sunken Volare cabin cruiser continued Thursday even after the Coast Guard suspended survivor searches Wednesday night.
The earlier confirmed victim was 79-year-old Clifford Joseph Boisa, a retired Sutter County reserve deputy; officials said those aboard were taking part in a memorial service.
