Public’s Help Sought in Identifying Suicide Victim
The county coroner’s office is asking for the public’s help in identifying a man who killed himself at a park in July.
The man was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head on a park bench at the Granada Hills Recreation Center shortly after 7 a.m. on July 19, said Scott Carrier, a spokesman for the coroner’s office. The park is at 16730 Chatsworth St.
The man was white or Latino, about 30, 6 feet tall and 246 pounds, Carrier said. He had brown eyes and black hair, was balding and had a scar in the upper left area of his chest, he said.
The victim was wearing a green T-shirt, blue jean shorts, white tennis shoes, white socks and white and blue striped boxer shorts.
Anyone with information is asked to call Gilda Tolbert at the coroner’s office at (323) 343-0754.
