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.
Toyota trucks have been the primary target.
School officials say it takes the thieves only 2 or 3 minutes to unbolt the catalytic converters and run. The parts are desired by thieves because of the valuable metal they contain.
Anyone who sees anything funny is asked to call the college's Public Safety office at (909) 594-5611, ext. 4555.
