The Clark County coroner did not immediately report the person’s identity or cause of death.

EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has tested positive for COVID-19 and will not play this weekend in the team's first preseason game. Coach Kevin O'Connell confirmed the diagnosis Friday at practice, where Cousins was absent for a second straight day. He felt ill Thursday and sent home. “I like the way he handled it, reporting the symptoms and going through our in-house process we have here,” O'Connell said. "Ultimately looking out for his teammates and making sure we’ll get him back, ready to roll as soon as possible.” Cousins has “very minimal” symptoms, O'Connell said. Sean Mannion and Kellen Mond will split time in the exhibition Sunday at Las Vegas, where Cousins was unlikely to play much, if at all, even if he wasn't sick.

Two of the four sets of human remains discovered in Lake Mead thanks to historically-low water levels could be from the same person, coroners said on Tuesday. The bones and other fragments began emerging in May - first with a male body in a barrel. The person had been shot in the head, and a homicide investigation has been opened. It is believed the man was killed in the 1970s or 80s. On May 7, a person believed to be aged between 23 and 38 was found at Callville Bay, and DNA samples were taken. A man living in Spain , Todd Kolod, has said he is increasingly confident that set of remains is his father Daniel, who was killed in a speedboat accident on the lake in 1958, aged 22, and whose body was never recovered. A third set of remains was found on July 26, at Swim Beach, and on Saturday a fourth set was unearthed at the same location. 'At this time, the investigation into these remains includes working to determine whether the two sets of remains are from the same person or … [Read more...] about Two of the four sets of human remains found in drought-wracked Lake Mead may be from the SAME person, coroner says

Two popular Bay Area businesses, and soon-to-be neighbors inside the Ferry Building, have collaborated on a new ice cream flavor inspired by two classic desserts. Humphry Slocombe shared an Instagram post on Thursday showcasing its latest ice cream flavor in collaboration with Señor Sisig. It’s called “churron,” which is a mashup between the words (and flavors) of a churro and turon, a popular Filipino fried dessert typically made with banana, jackfruit, brown sugar, and lumpia wrappers. “With our soon-to-be Señor Sisig location at the Ferry Building, this sweet collab couldn't have come at a better time,” Evan Kidera told SFGATE in a statement. Kidera added that Humphry Slocombe reached out to Señor Sisig ahead of its Ferry Building grand opening sometime this summer with a pitch to craft a flavor together. Kidera shared that for the collaboration he wanted to focus on Mexican and Filipino flavors (much like Señor Sisig’s existing menu) and that the team decided on … [Read more...] about Bay Area favorites Humphry Slocombe and Señor Sisig collaborate on unique ice cream flavor
