Orange County Sheriff’s officials continued their investigation Saturday into the deaths of a man and woman who were found unresponsive this week on Salt Creek Beach in Dana Point.

Deputies found the two bodies on the beach, near the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel, about 6:50 a.m. Friday, authorities said. Deputies confirmed the deaths moments later.

“At this time it appears to be an isolated incident and there is no threat to the public,” sheriff’s officials said on Twitter.
