LAKE LOS ANGELES – Homicide detectives are investigating the death of a Lake Los Angeles man found unresponsive on the street in front of his home Tuesday evening.
The victim, a man in his 70s whose name has not yet been released, was pronounced dead at the scene, coroner’s Assistant Chief Ed Winter said Wednesday morning.
The incident was reported around 6:45 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 27, according to a news release from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Information Bureau.

Deputies performed CPR until paramedics arrived, and then paramedics performed life-saving measures. Ultimately they pronounced the victim dead at the scene, officials said in the news release.
“A preliminary examination revealed that the victim may have suffered from some form of blunt force trauma to his head,” the news release states. “Although witnesses heard the victim and his 38-year-old son arguing earlier, it is still unclear how and when the victim received his injuries.”
