Coroner seeks help identifying man

| | Comments (0) |


The Los Angeles County Coroner is asking for the public's help identifying a body found in Sylmar last year.

The man's corpse was discovered on Oct. 13 on a hillside at Foothill Boulevard and Paxton Street near the overpass of the east-bound SR-118 freeway and the south-bound I-210 interchange, after a fire had been extinguished.  The fire was an extension of the Marek wildfire.  

He was white or Hispanic and 45 to 60 years old.  He stood about 5 feet 3 inches tall and weighed approximately 100 pounds.

He may have lived in a makeshift shelter in the area. A dog was found with him. The dog had a blue collar with "WOOF" in clear stones.  

Anyone with information can contact Investigator Daniel Machian at (323) 343-0754 or the Coroner Investigations Division at (323) 343-0714.
