Police and coroners investigators were looking into an apparent suicide at Houghton Park Wednesday morning.
Long Beach Police were called to the North Long Beach park, which sits at the corner of Atlantic Avenue and East Harding Street, at about 5 a.m. after a resident found the body of a young male, said Officer Israel Ramirez, an LBPD spokesman.
It looked as though the victim hung himself, Ramirez said.
Homicide investigators were called to the scene as a point of procedure, the officer said.
"At this point it appears to be a suicide, there doesn't appear to be anything suspicious," Ramirez said.
Police also notified the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office, which will determine the cause of death, Ramirez said.
The victim's name was withheld pending identification and notification of family.
