The body of a missing Humboldt County man was recently found in an overturned vehicle, the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office reported.
According to the MCSO, it received a missing persons report regarding David Taylor, an 84-year-old man who lived in the 77000 block of Usal Road in Whitethorn, just north of the Mendocino County line near the Lost Coast, on Feb. 18, 2025.
The person reporting Taylor missing said he was last seen on Feb. 6, 2025, after being transported to a hospital in Humboldt County on Feb. 5, then later brought back to Whitethorn the following day.
“Taylor was last seen in his vehicle at the Whitethorn Post Office on Feb. 6, (and) deputies took a report for Taylor being missing and coordinated with multiple first-responder organizations to assist in searching for Taylor,” the MCSO reports, explaining that “search efforts were conducted by numerous 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.”
However, “after multiple search deployments, no clues or evidence were located regarding Taylor’s possible whereabouts (until) on March 25, a deceased male subject was found in an overturned vehicle in Humboldt County on Beaver Slide Lane in Briceland.”
During an autopsy of the man conducted by the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office, the MCSO reports that he was positively identified as Taylor, “who reportedly died within minutes of the motor vehicle collision of a cervical spine fracture.”
The MCSO noted that its office and that of the Humboldt County Sheriff “would both like to thank the many agencies and personnel for their efforts and assistance in searching for Taylor, (and that) anyone with information regarding this investigation is requested to contact the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office at 707-463-4086 (option 1). Information can also be provided anonymously by calling the non-emergency tip-line at 707-234-2100.”
