​Swimmer Who Died Off Lands End In SF ID'd: Marin Sheriff

MARIN COUNTY, CA — A woman who was found dead over the weekend in the water in San Francisco has been identified by the Marin County Sheriff's Office-Coroner Division as Anahi Alejandra Rivero, 24, of San Jose.

A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter crew found a body matching Rivero's description shortly after 8:30 a.m. Saturday about a mile southwest of Mile Rock off Land's End Beach.

Friends said she went for a swim, and they reported her missing around 8:25 p.m. Friday in the same area. The Coast Guard said strong currents swept Rivero out to sea.

Rivero's body was taken by a Coast Guard vessel to the Coast Guard Station Golden Gate in Sausalito, where she was pronounced dead by paramedics at Southern Marin Fire Department, according to the Marin County coroner's office.

"The Marin County Sheriff’s Office and personnel of the Coroner Division offer our best wishes and condolences to the family and friends or Ms. Rivero," Chief Deputy Coroner Roger G. Fielding said in a statement.

A postmortem examination and toxicology testing was scheduled for Monday.
