Body Is Found at Side of Road
The body of a 51-year-old Sylmar man was discovered on a roadside in Newhall, authorities said Sunday.
Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies found the body about 10 a.m. Saturday on The Old Road, just south of Calgrove Boulevard, Deputy Joseph Raffa said.
The body, which bore no signs of foul play, had apparently rolled down a hill before stopping near a chain-link fence under a highway overpass.
A passing motorist spotted the body and called authorities, Raffa said. The man’s identity was being withheld pending notification of relatives.
