In a disturbing discovery early Monday morning, a decomposing body was found by authorities in a gap adjacent to a light pole near the 101 Freeway in Hollywood Hills. The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) made the initial report and requested assistance from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) after locating the remains at the scene. CHP officers have since classified the area as an active crime scene, though specific details surrounding the discovery remain unclear.
Currently, investigators are unsure how long the body has been in the small space beside the light pole. Questions persist regarding the circumstances, with no confirmation as to whether the individual accidentally slipped into the gap, sought shelter from the recent cold nights, or was intentionally placed there. Authorities are conducting a thorough investigation to determine the cause of death and establish a timeline. Further updates are anticipated as officials release additional details.
