Rescue boats searching for body of man missing after fatal crash off Catalina Island

Rescue boats were plying waters off Catalina Island on Monday morning for a boater missing after a crash that killed a fellow passenger.

The accident near Descanso Bay occurred early Sunday morning when a dinghy carrying five passengers collided with another vessel, according to the Coast Guard. One man, identified as Michael Harris, died, two others suffered minor injuries and a third received a head injury, authorities said.

Harris was the son of the former chief executive of the San Francisco 49ers, Peter Harris, who confirmed his death in a Facebook post.

Rescuers were unable to locate the fifth passenger, a man authorities declined to identify, in the wreckage or during a daylong search Sunday.
