Drugs found in Ghost Trees surfer who drowned |
The surfer who died off Pebble Beach last month was under the influence of methamphetamine when he went into the water and encountered waves more than 50 feet high, the Monterey County coroner said Friday.
| Peter Davi, 45, drowned while surfing Dec. 4 near Stillwater Cove in a stretch known to fellow surfers as Ghost Trees. A coroner's investigation found that "acute methamphetamine intoxication ... may also have played a contributing role" in his death, according to a statement released by the county sheriff's office.
|  | | The day of Davi's death, surfers described conditions where the wave faces reached 60 to 70 feet - or as one person put it, "almost as big as we've seen out there." |
The surfers also remembered Davi fondly as a "gentle giant" and a "diplomat of surfing."
