BAKERSFIELD, CA - The family of a local veteran who served three tours of duty in Iraq is awaiting the results of his autopsy after crews recovered his body from Lake Isabella, three days after he went missing. The sheriff's department is in the midst of a drowning death investigation and an autopsy is scheduled Friday to determine how the former marine died while kayaking at Lake Isabella.
Meanwhile, his family celebrated what would've been his 30th birthday Thursday by remembering good times with him. Family members gathered at Michael May's foster parents' home to remember the local veteran. This, just hours after the coroner identified May's body, pulled from Lake Isabella after he went missing on Father's Day.
May's foster mother Rosaura Hernandez said, "We got peace, in the sense that if he was dead, we wanted to know. If he was alive, we wanted to know because it was four days of agony and so that was very hard."
