Coroner’s officials have identified a man who was found drowned, and wearing a life jacket, about 100 yards from a lifeguard tower at Doheny State Beach in Dana Point.
Harold Hart, 48, was discovered floating on his back Friday afternoon by a paddle boarder, who called authorities. Hart, who lived aboard a boat in the area, apparently drowned at about 8:30 a.m., according to Larry Esslinger, spokesman for the Orange County coroner’s office.
An autopsy was expected to be conducted Saturday morning, Esslinger said.
