Los Angeles County lifeguards and the U.S. Coast Guard planned to resume the underwater search Monday morning around Marina del Rey for the missing father of a 10-year-old boy who was rescued a day earlier from the surf, authorities said.
The boy and his 39-year-old father were reported missing at 3:56 p.m. Sunday near 4200 S. Ocean Front Walk, Los Angeles Fire Department spokeswoman Margaret Stewart said.
County lifeguards took the lead and pulled boy from the water. He was evaluated by LAFD paramedics but did not require hospitalization, Stewart said.
Underwater searching for the missing man was halted at 7:30 p.m., county lifeguards said. Periodic land-based patrols were expected to continue through the night with underwater searching resuming after sunrise, authorities said.
