by The AV Times Staff • March 3, 2017

PALMDALE – Coroner’s officials are trying to determine the cause of death of a man found along a road in the Angeles National Forest just outside Palmdale, authorities said.

The body was found at 12:49 p.m. Thursday, March 2, along Angeles Forest Highway, near Upper Big Tujunga Canyon Road, according to a news release from the Sheriff’s Information Bureau.

The man, whose body was discovered by a passerby about 30 feet off the road, was pronounced dead at the scene and detectives from the Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau were dispatched to investigate, according to the news release.

“The cause of death and identity of the deceased will be determined by the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner,” the news release states.

Anyone with information about this incident is encouraged to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500. To remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS (8477).

UPDATE:  An updated news release from Sheriff’s Information Bureau states the body was identified as a 35-year-old white male whose name will not be disclosed until next of kin is notified. Read the updated LASD news release here.

    We drove by here at 11:45 am
    No cars. Parked near this
    Someone must have pushed the pore guy over.
    We saw all the detected cars on the way back that night

    This is #2 of 3 dead people in the Antelope Valley in 1 Week. Saw a story this morning on Channel 7 that another body was found in a vacant house that was for sale. Central Lancaster. I guess the bad people are out in force right now… Stay safe out there!

    RIP To This Young Man, and Bless His Family

      There are half a million people in the AV. Odds are that some will die.

      @Moved From The AV Because? Why the question mark after your user name?

      So, where didya move to? Don’t worry. You are anonymous here.

      You must be the 1,000th person who has posted a ‘goodbye’ comment on the AV Times without ever saying where they went.

      Their posts have the flavor of suicide notes in that we are supposed to feel terrible that they left us. Well, no.

        moved to central Oregon after selling my home in 2015 that i owned for 8 years. moved to the AV in 1979… watched everything go to crap out here. Lake LA first, then all other areas. I put a question mark as to say……now people know why my family moved from the wonderful area you soooo love…

        your comment has no meaning as to what this story is about. Read the other stories here, 4 MURDERS in a WEEK, last year there was what 20 in the whole YEAR….. So MR TROLL WILLIAM…. my post is not meant to make you feel terrible, but to make some people realize this community, even though housing may be cheap…has its DEMONS…. Check….and Check Mate Chief :-o

        RIP TO THIS PERSON WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS
