Bodies Found at Santa Cruz, Ocho Rios Beaches Under Investigation

A body found on Its Beach in Santa Cruz has been identified as Noah Lee Kim, a 21-year-old undergraduate student at UC Santa Cruz, following a multi-agency search that began after Kim and another individual jumped from a cliff near Steamer Lane; only one swimmer made it safely to shore. University officials expressed their condolences and are providing support to those affected by the loss. Meanwhile, other unrelated incidents involving bodies found on beaches have been reported: in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, police are investigating the discovery of an unidentified woman at Mahogany Beach, and in North Carolina, a body was found at Hammocks Beach State Park, with authorities still investigating the circumstances. These cases highlight recent tragedies and ongoing investigations at coastal locations in the U.S. and abroad.
