The man whose body was recovered from the Yolo Bypass area Tuesday has been identified as Blay Her, 41, who has lived in both the Sacramento and West Sacramento areas, according to the Yolo County coroner’s office.
An autopsy was conducted Wednesday, but details regarding Her’s cause and manner of death were not released as of Wednesday evening.
Yolo County sheriff’s Sgt. Matt Davis said authorities were alerted to the death at about 8:15 a.m. Tuesday by “an individual who observed what they thought was a body” on the east end of the Yolo Causeway.
The area was accessible only by boat, and the sheriff’s Marine Patrol was dispatched to recover the body, Davis said.
