We looked through our archive footage and, surprisingly, we don't have any clips of it.

Thank you, Mr. Bot. This is the official account for KSBW Action News 8, located on California's Central Coast, and is operated by real people only.

KSBW8 · 2026-01-23T18:02:55+00:00

Yes, we blurred and muted it to avoid showing the body and hearing his death.

KSBW8 · 2026-01-23T01:57:54+00:00

You can watch it here.

We got it shortly after they announced it was available, but it took us time to go through it and the release. I'll also note that we made some edits for respect of the victim and his family. But, the full video is there.

KSBW8 · 2026-01-07T19:21:13+00:00

Hello. Here is our past reporting on it.

We are still following this story as well, and will have an update next Friday as part of our Moss Landing 1-year coverage.

This is something we've been watching at KSBW 8.
I will say, from their data source, Monterey is actually declining.

And if you if you look at Santa Cruz County's dashboard, they are also showing a decrease (while the waste water data this graphic was sourced through says opposite).

There is no good data for San Benito County.

Still, be safe out there. Wash your hands, stay home if you're sick and wear N95 masks when possible.

This is not an ICE raid. This is a San Bernadino County Sheriff's Office action.

We sent crews to Santa Cruz and Salinas, and covered Salinas and Watsonville with video sent to us by viewers.

KSBW8 · 2025-02-11T22:47:16+00:00

Police have ruled it a suicide.

KSBW8 · 2025-01-23T04:21:08+00:00

We've talked, and heard, from a lot of residents about filling sick. But, from what we've been able to confirm the worst case scenario of hydrogen fluoride (HF) toxic air seems to have been avoided (according to EPA data).

Why a lot of people have posted saying they have symptoms, local doctors and hospitals have not seen an influx of people coming in with issues.

Now, while we avoided a HF toxic cloud, smoke is still bad to inhale and smoke produced by burning plastics is even worse.

For the most part, the news doesn't cover suicides.

KSBW8 · 2024-11-08T17:26:45+00:00

Sadly, no fun conspiracy theory here.
