Overview

  • Dive teams recovered the body of 35-year-old Nikolas Tomasevic at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday in Aquatic Park Cove, according to a San Francisco police statement.
  • The SFPD Marine Unit, the department’s Dive Team and Bomb Squad, and volunteers with California Recovery Divers assisted in the recovery.
  • Tomasevic was last seen around 10:15 a.m. Saturday after he and a swimming partner separated in the cove, and he did not return as expected.
  • Officials said the partner waited about four hours before notifying authorities, a gap that hindered efforts to pinpoint a search area.
  • Multiple agencies searched over the weekend using sonar without success before suspending operations, as swimmers noted strong flood currents in the cove.
