The man was believed to have been about 40 years old.
A man was found dead Saturday afternoon in a shed-like space built into the underside of the Culver Boulevard bridge above Ballona Creek.
Members of LAFD’s Urban Search and Rescue Team wearing ropes, harnesses and personal flotation devices were able to access the space after hooking into the bridge infrastructure, Humphrey said. “Upon the joint approval of LAPD detectives now leading the investigation and the Medical Examiner’s Investigator, LAFD personnel will assist in the safe and dignified removal of the body from the still difficult to access shed-like structure, at a yet to be determined time,” the fire department saidThe coroner’s office still needs to identify the man and determine cause and time of death, Humphrey said.
