The discovery was made around 6:40 a.m. below the cliffs along Coast Walk just north of Torrey Pines Road, San Diego police Officer Tony Martinez said.
Video from OnScene.TV showed lifeguards recovering the body of a woman on rocks about 75 feet below a trail overlooking the shore. Lifeguards took the body to La Jolla Shores, where they met officials from the San Diego County medical examiner’s office.
