None reported but he had been in the ocean.
Where did you find that information? Unless you have information otherwise, it seems to me that the tide came up to where he was dumped on the beach. Low tide occurred during the night, and the rising tide early in morning would have washed up the beach to where he was. Maybe you have a source in the Hollywood P.D.?
Oh, I have messaged the Hollywood P.D but never got a response. Everything is from news reports.
“When the tide came in he obviously was caught in the surf and tumbling, about a 35-year-old African American man, very well dressed wearing a sort of a casual business shirt, black pants,” resident Bill Renick told WTVJ-TV. “All of his personal effects were on him and that’s what we found unusual.”
