A diver found not breathing at La Jolla Cove was pulled from the water and pronounced dead the morning of Sept. 3, witnesses said. It was the latest in a series of similar cases at The Cove in the past four months.
The Sept. 3 emergency occurred around 9:30 a.m., when lifeguards were notified that divers in La Jolla Cove had found a fellow diver in the water not breathing. According to San Diego city spokeswoman Monica Muñoz, the diver was recovered from the water and the San Diego Police Department was notified, though she had no other details.
A witness told the La Jolla Light that the diver was a man approximately in his mid-50s who appeared to be with a group. Resuscitation efforts took place on the beach before the diver was pronounced dead, the witness said. Two other people who were there also said the diver had died.
