Insider Diana Russini shared details of the story on Saturday.

"By the end of Thursday night, San Francisco’s backup quarterback Mac Jones had dragged the 49ers past the Rams and into first place in the NFC West. He did it while cramping in both his legs and arms, throwing up, downing three bananas and nursing a sore knee. And that wasn’t even the wildest part of his day.

"That morning at the team hotel in Marina del Rey, Jones told teammates he was on his balcony when he looked out at the water and saw a floating dead body. Someone called the police. As the 49ers loaded buses for the stadium, players watched investigators and even a coroner’s van pull into the marina. On Friday afternoon, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said the incident was still under investigation."
