The body that was found on an Isla Vista beach last weekend has been identified as a 20-year-old UC Santa Barbara student.

Authorities have identified Allesandro Esquivel from Downey as the deceased man that was found at 9:30 a.m. on October 20.

Toxicology and lab results have yet to be released but authorities feel no foul play is suspected.

Esquivel’s friends and family created a GoFundMe account to help with funeral costs.  

“He was a wonderfully loving and funny young man who had overcome many obstacles with his positive attitude,” the family stated.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Isla Vista Foot Patrol at 805-681-4179 or the non-emergency dispatch line at 805-683-2724.
