The core-excited (1s2s22p4  4P) negative ion shape resonance of C near 281.7  eV has been investigated using the merged ion beam—photon beam photodetachment technique on the Advanced Light Source beamline 10.0.1. C+ ions formed by double detachment were detected as a function of photon energy. Higher resolution spectra yield more precise values for the energy and width of the resonance than our previous measurements [N. D. Gibson et al., Phys. Rev. A 67, 030703(R) (2003)]. The absolute cross section for double detachment from C following 1s photoexcitation is measured for the first time and the spectrum is compared to previous theoretical calculations. These measurements also provide information on the lowest core-excited state of neutral carbon (1s2s22p3  5S).
