LANCASTER – Authorities Wednesday identified a man whose body was found near a road in the Lancaster area, and they’re continuing the investigation into his cause of death.<\/p>\n

The body was discovered in the area of West Avenue I and 37th Street. Detectives were sent to the area around 10:55 a.m. on Oct. 1 to investigate a report of human remains found by a passerby a day earlier along the side of the road, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.<\/p>\n

“Upon their arrival, they located the victim… suffering from possible trauma to the back of the head,” a sheriff’s department statement said shortly after the body was discovered. “The body appeared to have been at the location for several weeks.”<\/p>\n

The body was identified Wednesday as that of Herman Scarborough<\/strong>, 58, of Lancaster, according to the coroner’s office, which listed his cause of death as “deferred pending additional investigation.”<\/p>\n

Anyone with information on this case is encouraged to call the Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500, or Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS.<\/p>\n
