According to Eric Endersby, harbor operations manager, the Harbor Patrol and police searched the bay and shore after dark Wednesday and didn't find Carnegie. They also checked with family and friends and alerted the Sheriff's Department Dive Team as well as state park rangers.
The following morning the Harbor Patrol resumed the search and called in a CHP plane, which almost immediately found the body at 9:23 a.m., said Endersby. The dive team recovered the body around 10:30 a.m.
Commercial fisherman Jeremiah O'Brien and Endersby said Carnegie was a quiet man who kept to himself while in port. Endersby said the tug service that Carnegie worked for operated around San Diego and Port Hueneme Naval Base.
In a separate case, an autopsy of the woman who was found dead Tuesday on the beach north of Morro Rock's parking lot showed that she died as the result of suicide suffocation.
Also a Morro Bay resident, the name of the victim is being withheld pending the notification of next of kin. There was no identification with the body.
Police said an off-duty Harbor Patrol employee found the body around 6:30 a.m. while walking in the area.
