The person was located just after 8:30 a.m. and, after being assessed by paramedics, was pronounced dead.

Baxter said it's unclear why the unidentified adult victim was in the water.

KCBS Radio reached out to the San Francisco Medical Examiner's Office for additional details and has not heard back. The incident caused some delays to the ferry system, however operations have since resumed as normal.
