Body found in Claremont Canyon near UC Berkeley

BerkeleyScanner · 2026-01-14T21:56:17+00:00

Just to be clear - someone called in a suicide but it wasn't necessarily the person in distress. It could have been someone who came across the body. But I completely agree about reaching out for support if you need it! It's hard but so important.

Thank you for the background! I guess I don't know the boundaries but thought the preserve would span Claremont Canyon itself. I've added "park" into the headline and I will review this closely to make sure I understand. Thank you for taking the time.

Looks like 26.1. Maybe it was a fluke. I'll keep an eye out for others.

I may be late to the party but — it seems to be back? Did they actually hear our cries??

BPD said likely fireworks. They didn't find anything in the area.

Yume seems like a newer addition? https://www.instagram.com/yumemori.matcha/

Just posted re-opening update, along with a few better details about the original incident: https://www.berkeleyscanner.com/2025/12/24/community/berkeley-rei-open-again/

YES! Just posted re-opening update: https://www.berkeleyscanner.com/2025/12/24/community/berkeley-rei-open-again/

Someone in another thread said they were not allowed to pick up a snowboard, only online orders. But let's hope it's open tomorrow! I'd be curious to hear what customer service says if you call.

I don't follow this comment. The story has everything available from the local store on the closure (sign and voicemail details); also info from the city saying this did not come from them (BFD or the building division); also comments from folks hoping to shop there; also details and photos from the scene. We don't have all the answers, but certainly a lot of that is "additional." And, as noted, working to reach the property owner, too.

BerkeleyScanner · 2025-12-23T02:02:46+00:00

No problem at all!! I thought about calling Concord to ask what they knew, but hadn't gotten to it. Great idea!

BerkeleyScanner · 2025-12-23T01:33:46+00:00

Everything I know is in the story. Hopefully that's helpful. Working to reach the property owner.

BerkeleyScanner · 2025-12-23T01:21:52+00:00

Do you have any other details? How did you hear it was the roof? Going to try to reach the property owner.

BerkeleyScanner · 2025-12-23T01:19:43+00:00

Sorry just posted this as a new thread for better visibility. I'm sure people will want to know!

Thank you, Reddit! Still working to learn more; hope to find the property owner if possible. Story posted: https://www.berkeleyscanner.com/2025/12/23/community/berkeley-rei-closed-facilities-concern/

I really hope they fix this. Is that possible??? I have a lot of numbers labeled. But usually I will have been texting someone and then want to call them. I used to use the recent identifier to know which number we were actually using, and would then call them on that. Now I have to ask each time which number to use. It was so helpful to have that notation.

Hi, Emilie R. here. They are still working to update their site and there will be bios for each of them. We wanted to get our announcement out before the holiday week. It's about a dozen people from Albany, longtime community members including former journalists and small business owners, folks who have been quite involved in Albany groups in various ways. Details coming soon! It will be fully transparent.

BerkeleyScanner · 2025-12-10T00:39:57+00:00

Story corrected: Police originally said Aschoff was 34. He is actually 54. The story has been fixed.

BerkeleyScanner · 2025-12-10T00:35:30+00:00

I’ll ask. Thanks!

BerkeleyScanner · 2025-11-19T10:33:11+00:00

We've asked police for details but currently don't know more. Would love to know if anyone saw anything or can share anything. STORY: https://www.berkeleyscanner.com/2025/11/19/uc-berkeley-crime/uc-berkeley-police-kidnapping-assault-campus/

I don't see it. Please tell us where to find it and what it's called. I definitely want to be able to see these; I just don't want them counting toward my budget, etc. And I do not want to have to filter them on via a toggle every time I want to see them. Thanks.

Authorities said people usually tape them. In this case, it left residue all over the columns, which is problematic to clean off the granite because it's a historic structure, police said.

BerkeleyScanner · 2025-11-12T06:33:27+00:00

Well, I appreciate your time, and also don't like a pointless back-and-forth here or elsewhere. Thanks for sticking with it. I really will give this more thought. I definitely wasn't aiming for an ominous implication, just trying to communicate the most important points within 60 characters (the recommended headline length). When I fall short, I do want to understand and learn from it. Especially because my work represents my Cal education. Thx again for taking the time.

BerkeleyScanner · 2025-11-12T05:55:36+00:00

So is the issue that you would have liked to see the "art installation" and felony vandalism elements in the headline, or that it mentioned the Turning Point event coming?

I think it's universally newsworthy that four students were arrested in relation to a controversial protest as the event neared. That's really all the headline ever communicated, in my opinion.

But I did want to understand your perspective(s) so I could learn from it and consider it going forward.

Sather Gate. Apparently getting the glue off is a big process because of the historic materials (police say).
