Henry-1 assists outside agency with a body recovery and finds a second body while enroute. Read story below:
Yesterday (9/15/23) at around 6 PM, the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office Helicopter, Henry-One, received a request from the San Mateo North County Fire Authority and the Pacifica Police Department to assist in the recovery of a body. The body was in a rugged and rocky area of Aramai Point near the ocean. Fire and police personnel were able to make access to the area by traversing the rocks during low tide. The risk of injury to the fire and police personnel attempting to carry the body out through the wet rocks was high. At 6:15 PM, Henry-One responded to assist with the recovery.
While in the area of the Golden Gate Bridge, Marin County Communications Center, which provides dispatch services to both law and fire agencies inside Marin County, began dispatching the report of a water rescue at the Golden Gate Bridge. The Henry-One crew learned that a subject had jumped from the bridge and was last seen in the water 4 minutes prior to the dispatch call. Within 30 seconds, the Henry-One crew located the subject in the water. The subject did not appear to be conscious, and the outgoing tide was pulling him out of the bay towards the ocean. Henry-One hovered above the subject and advised a nearby Coast Guard Motor Life Boat via radio that we had found the subject. The Coast Guard Motor Life Boat recovered the subject and they were pronounced deceased. The Marin County Sheriff’s Office Coroner’s Division is handling the investigation.
Henry-One continued towards Pacifica. Upon their arrival in Pacifica, the Henry-One crew landed nearby and configured the helicopter for a 100 foot longline recovery of the body. The Tactical Flight Officer (TFO) was flown to the body where it was packaged in a traverse rescue stretcher. The TFO and body were flown to a nearby parking lot where custody of the body was turned over to the San Mateo County Coroner’s Office.
