HUNTINGTON BEACH – A 59-year-old woman died early Sunday after she was reported missing from a yacht during a holiday party and was found in the water.
The woman has been identified as Karen Dewolf-Brown of Quail Valley, said Jaimee L. Blashaw, a sheriff’s spokeswoman.
Around 11:15 p.m. Saturday, authorities responded to a 32-foot-long yacht docked at Peter’s Landing after a woman was reported missing from the boat, Blashaw said.
The Sheriff’s Department’s Harbor Patrol pulled Dewolf-Brown from the water, Blashaw said. She was unresponsive and taken to an area hospital, where she died early Sunday.
