A dead body was discovered at just north of the Venice Pier on Saturday morning.
Reports from beachgoers are that the body appeared to have signs that it must have been in thw water for "days". Several that caught glimpses of the body said a hand was missing, and it looked like it had bites all over. One person said the eyes were gone.
There is no official statement made yet from LAPD or the Sherrif's Department, as it appeared there was no rush to figure it out. Probably because, as one Venice resident said, "it was a homeless person".
UPDATE: LASD reports it was the body of a man in his 30's and is "Too decomposed to determine how he died or how long he was dead." The body was discovered by a jogger around 8:12 a.m. The jogger called 911 and first responders pulled the body out of the water and onto the beach.
As of midday Saturday, the body was still there, under a tent, while a surf school teaches there class right next to it.
More info when it becomes avaliable.

Nick Gabaldón Day will take place on Saturday, October 9, 2021.
Nick Gabaldón (1927-1951) was a pioneering surfer of African American and Mexican American descent. He was the first documented surfer of color in the Santa Monica Bay. Gabaldón’s passion, athleticism, discipline, love, and respect for the ocean live on as the quintessential qualities of the California surfer.
In 2013, with the help of African American historian Alison Rose Jefferson, Heal the Bay joined forces with the Black Surfers Collective to amplify and expand their prior Nick Gabaldón efforts. Nick Gabaldón Day, in its current form, is now in its 9th year and will be held on October 9, 2021. This innovative celebration provides an amazing opportunity for broadening outreach, action, and education to connect Angelenos with their cultural, historical, and natural heritage.
The shoreline and waters at Bay Street in Santa Monica were an active hub of African American beach life during the Jim Crow era. This beach was popular from the 1900s to early 1960s among African American people, who sought to avoid hostile and racial discrimination they might experience at other southland beaches. Racial discrimination and restrictive covenants prevented African Americans from buying property throughout the Los Angeles region, but their community’s presence and agency sustained their oceanfront usage in Santa Monica.
In 2008, the City of Santa Monica officially recognized the “Inkwell” and Nick Gabaldón with a landmark monument at Bay Street and the Oceanfront Walk. In 2019, this same beach was listed as the Bay Street Beach Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places for its significance in the African American experience and American history.
Nick Gabaldón Day introduces young and old from inland communities to the magic of the coast through free surf and ocean safety lessons, beach ecology exploration, and a history lesson about a man who followed his passion and a community who challenged anti-Black discrimination to enjoy the beach.
The Black Surfers Collective, Heal the Bay, Surf Bus Foundation, and the Santa Monica Conservancy collaborate for Nick Gabaldón Day to reach families in resource-challenged communities and connect them to meaningful educational programming. Together, we are helping build personal experiences with cultural, historical, natural heritage, and civic engagement that make up the foundation of stewardship, and the development of the next generation of heritage conservation and environmental leaders.
