Skateboarding teams find mummy in Beverly Hills home
They roamed inside the house and discovered a mummified body lying in a fetal position, the Beverly Hills Weekly reported in today's edition.
Police told the paper they believe the man was dead for a year. He appeared to be white and in his 40s or 50s. They think he was homeless because they found an assortment of old bags and an old bicycle near him.
The cause of death wasn't immediately known, but foul play was not suspected, police said.
The property owner hadn't been at the house for a long time, the paper said.
