San Mateo County Sheriff’s deputies pulled a man’s dead body from the base of Devil’s Slide Monday morning.

A deputy on patrol noticed an unattended car parked in a turnout on Highway 1 just south of Gray Whale Cove Monday morning, according to Sheriff’s Office Lt. Wes Matsuura. The car belonged to a Berkeley resident reported missing Saturday morning.

In inspecting the area around the car, the deputy peered over the cliffside and saw the body of a white man. A cliff rescue team retrieved the body at about 11:20 a.m.

The San Mateo County Coroner’s Office had not identified the body at 3:40 p.m. Monday.
