Officials Seek Help in Identifying Body
Los Angeles County investigators Thursday sought help in identifying a body found on a hillside overlooking the ocean in Rancho Palos Verdes.
Scott Carrier, a coroner’s office spokesman, described the body as that of a man in his late 40s or early 50s. He was about 6 feet tall, weighed more than 180 pounds and had gray hair and blue eyes, Carrier said. The body was found seated and leaning against a pine tree at approximately 9 a.m. Tuesday, a mile southwest of Del Cerro Park, Carrier said.
The man was dressed in tan pants, a gray sweatshirt, a green vest and white gym shoes.
“He had some distinct tattoos,” Carrier said. “He had a lion and a crown on his right forearm and a cross and the name Mike on his left forearm.”
Anyone with information may call the coroner’s office at (323) 343-0714.
