Another day, another body discovered in downtown Long Beach early Wednesday.
Marine Patrol officers working in the 200 block of Aquarium Way found the dead man, described as white and believed to be in his early 50's, lying on the grass next to the Queensway Bay, said Lisa Massacani, a Long Beach Police Department spokeswoman.
Officers said there did not appear to be any foul play involved in the unidentified man's death and turned the body over to Los Angeles County Coroner's investigators, Massacani said.
"It will be up to the coroner to identify the body and determine the cause of death," she said.
In the meantime, police are still awaiting the identification of another dead man found floating in the Queensway Bay in the 600 block of Queensway Drive on Tuesday, Massacani said Wednesday.
Patrol officers were called to the area, near the south boat launch, at about 8 a.m. and found the unidentified male floating in the water, said Officer Jackie Bezart, another department spokeswoman.
Coroner's investigators also took that individual into custody and were working to identify the body -- which showed no obvious signs of trauma -- and determine the cause of death, Bezart said.

Really. Two bodies indicates 'dead'." "Two dead" indicates there most likely are bodies.
