The body of a Whitethorn man reported missing was recently discovered. 84-year-old David Taylor was last seen in early February at the Whitethorn Post Office. Searches conducted by local fire agencies, the Southern Humboldt Technical Rescue Team, California Highway Patrol, Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office, Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office, and Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue proved fruitless. On March 25th, Taylor’s overturned vehicle was spotted in Humboldt County on Beaver Slide Lane in Briceland. An autopsy identified Taylor and determined that he died of a broken neck.
