Sheriff's detectives are trying to figure out what happened to a middle-aged man whose body was found off the side of the road in the Angeles National Forest last night.
The body of a man in his 40s was discovered at Mile Marker 2000 on Highway 39, according to a release from the sheriff's department.
His body was found last night at 6:41 pm in an area six miles north of Azusa, according to City News Service. The man has not been identified, although he was described as a Hispanic man. He was pronounced dead at the scene, but officials have not released any details about how he might have died. Homicide detectives are investigating.
If you have any information, call the Sheriff's Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5500, or Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-TIPS.
