A Santa Barbara County man is being identified as the victim of what appears to be a fatal boating accident in Ventura County. Scott Escalara of Goleta had taken his small boat to Ventura Harbor Saturday to go fishing.
His boat was found drifting in the ocean near the mouth of the Santa Clara River Sunday morning.
Ventura firefighters recovered the 60 year old man’s body from the ocean. Autopsy results are still pending.
