MANHATTAN BEACH — A diver who went missing in the ocean near the Manhattan Beach Pier was found dead Monday.
The Los Angeles County Fire Department’s dive team found the body of Jeff Tolly, 45, near El Segundo.
The Coast Guard received a call at 11 a.m. Sunday from Tolly’s friend, who reported him missing after he went diving about three miles north of the pier, Kneen said.
Unfortunately, this is not the first lobster-hunting-related deadly accident this year. Last month, a Ventura mother died when the boat she was on with her husband and two young children capsized. They were also looking for lobsters.
