Police are conducting a death investigation after a passerby discovered a deceased adult man in the Byxbee Park area of the Baylands Nature Preserve early this morning.
On Friday, March 21, 2025, at about 8:00 a.m., our 24-hour dispatch center received a call from a passerby reporting a possible dead body at Byxbee Park, located at 2375 Embarcadero Road. Officers and personnel from the Palo Alto Fire Department responded immediately and confirmed that the person was deceased. The decedent is an adult male.
The investigation revealed that the passerby had noticed the body laying in a muddy tidal area near the Byxbee Park parking lot. Police have not located any obvious signs of foul play and have no evidence at this time that any crime occurred, although the investigation is continuing. Police are not releasing the man’s identity; that information can, ultimately, be obtained from the Santa Clara County Office of the Medical Examiner-Coroner.
