While the entire baseball community is mourning Jose Fernandez's tragic death, an investigation is underway as city officials look to determine what led to the crash that took the lives of Fernandez and two friends.

On Monday, a beachgoer in Miami discovered an eerie reminder of the life cut short. According to WSVN TV, a bag containing four Jose Fernandez autographed baseballs and Fernandez's checkbook washed ashore.

It was found about a mile from the accident.

Ocean Rescue Division Chief Vincent Canosa confirmed that the bag was given to a lifeguard, and it did appear to belong to Fernandez or his friends, Emilio Macias and Eduardo Rivero.

The Marlins will play Monday for the first time since Fernandez's death. Each player will wear No. 16 to honor their lost teammate.
