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.
BALDWIN PARK -- Nearly a month after a man was found shot to death in front of an apartment building, the body remains unidentified, coroner's officials said.
The man's body was found fatally shot on the morning of Nov. 1 in the 12800 block of Dalewood Street, Los Angeles County Sheriff's officials said.
Officials have a possible name for the man, but are awaiting family members to provide documents to confirm it, Los Angeles County Department of Coroner Investigator Jerry McKibben said.
Sheriff's officials released no suspect information or motive in the slaying.

Apparently transients were living in a van off and on for several months, according to preliminary reports. John Doe, discovered Wednesday, may have died before Memorial Day, which was the last time anybody took a look inside the vehicle.
