San Francisco Man Found Dead In North Bay

MARIN COUNTY, CA — A deceased man whose body was found in China Camp Sunday afternoon has been identified, the Marin County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.

He was identified as 45-year-old Robert George Michaels, a San Francisco man with no known address by Sheriff’s Office – Coroner Division, officials said Tuesday.

The case is being investigated as a suspicious death, the Sheriff's Office said earlier this week.

Deputies responded Sunday at around 12:40 p.m. to the 1600 block of N. San Pedro Road to the report of a body possibly sighted, the Sheriff's Office said.

Deputies found a deceased male around 30 feet from the roadway according to the Sheriff's Office.

“The subject had no identification upon his person at the time of his discovery and his identity was unknown,” the Sheriff’s Office said in a statement Tuesday.

“Working collaboratively, the Detectives and Investigator’s later positively identified the subject via scientific means. A next of kin searched was then completed and relatives located out of state were contacted and advised of the subject’s passing.”

Forensic and toxicology testing will be conducted later this week to determine the cause and manner of Michaels’ death, the Sheriff’s Office said.

“No further information will be released by the Coroner Division at this time, as this is an active and ongoing investigation,” the Sheriff’s Office said.
