An impromptu memorial has popped up at the Thousand Oaks intersection where a pro-Israeli demonstrator was fatally injured Sunday.

Remains of person found near golf course in San Luis Obispo County positively identified as those of a man last seen in June.

There’s a sad end to the search for a missing Central Coast man.

Darren Santangelo was last seen on June 30, leaving his Atascadero home.

On July 9th, some human remains were found at the edge of the Chalk Mountain Golf Course, in Atascadero. They’ve now been identified as those of the missing 35-year-old man. There’s no word on the cause of death.

Officials with the coroner’s office say they don’t think foul play was involved, but the investigation is continuing.
