   POINT REYES, Calif. (KGO) -- A Mill Valley Unified School District teacher   
   who was arrested Tuesday on sex charges was found dead after washing out   
   to sea within the Point Reyes National Seashore at Drakes Beach, the Marin   
   County Sheriff's Office said.   
      
   Darren Smith's body was recovered from ocean waters Wednesday after 911   
   calls reported a surfer being possibly washed out to sea at approximately   
   2:36 p.m. The 55-year-old Fairfax resident was reportedly last seen at   
   around 10 a.m. that day, according to a press release by the Marin County   
   Sheriff's Office. His surfboard was washed ashore around 1 p.m.   
      
   Multiple first responder agencies were dispatched to the area and began a   
   search by land and sea, the sheriff's office said.   
      
   At approximately 5:33 p.m., a lifeless body was located floating in the   
   ocean waters approximately 2.5 miles northwest of the Drakes Beach Parking   
   area. He was pronounced deceased shortly after, according to authorities.

   Sheriff's detectives arrested Smith on Tuesday, on suspicion of lewd and   
   lascivious acts with a child and continuous sexual abuse of a child.   
      
   The sheriff's office said that the school district notified them of the   
   allegations and put Smith on administrative leave. Smith had been employed   
   by the Mill Valley Unified School District since August 2013. The   
   District's website lists him as a music teacher.   
      
   After a thorough investigation of the allegations, including forensic   
   interviews and evaluation of evidence, detectives developed probable cause   
   to arrest Smith, the sheriff's office said.   
      
   Smith's death is currently under investigation. A forensic postmortem   
   examination with routine toxicology testing will be completed on Friday,   
   the sheriff's office said.
