Neighbors reported Calder missing on Jan. 21 after noticing his dog had been left outside. Because of his mental health issues, the sheriff’s department considered Calder an at-risk missing person.
Deputies, along with the sheriff’s search-and-rescue unit, searched for Calder for several days, but could not find him.
A fisherman discovered Calder’s body floating by the breakwater last Wednesday and notified authorities.
