| | Comments (0)

A real estate agent discovered a body on the living room floor of a Westchester home Saturday night.

Police and coroner's officials would not release the name of the man, who appeared to be in his 30s, on Sunday morning. His cause of death will be released when an autopsy in completed.

The agent went to the home, in the 8900 block of Kittyhawk Avenue, at 7 p.m. Saturday with prospective clients. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom house is listed for $539,000.

When a key was missing from a lockbox on the front door, the agent went to the back of the home and discovered a broken window.

It was unclear how long the man had been dead, but detectives put on masks when they went inside the house, witnesses said. A white car on the street may have belonged to the victim, police said.

Los Angeles Police Department is investigating the man's death, but would not release any information about the case, said spokeswoman Rosario Herrera.
