A Mill Valley School District teacher arrested in a child molestation case this week was found dead in the Point Reyes National Seashore, the county coroner’s office said Thursday.

Darren Michael Smith, 55, of Fairfax was located the day after Marin County sheriff’s detectives booked him. He was released on a $200,000 bail from the Marin County Jail soon after his arrest.

Fielding said that Smith will undergo a routine toxicology examination and that the investigation of his death is ongoing. The sheriff’s office said there are two known victims in the case, but declined to say whether they are students in the school district.‘We need him in our life’: Wife of doctor accused of driving family off Devil’s Slide cliff speaks in court for first timeFriend of Bay Area lawyer on trial for child sex assault recalls witnessing troubling ‘father-daughter dynamic’
