OAKLAND -- A kayaker discovered a body Saturday morning in the Oakland-Alameda Estuary, police said.

The kayaker told police they thought the body was a log at first, but then realized it was a person. They pulled the body onto their kayak and took it to a private marina adjacent to Estuary Park, on Embarcadero West.

The body appears to be a white male in his 50s or 60s and was fully clothed, police said.

The cause of death has not been determined.
