2 Bodies Found Outdoors In Riverside County In 1 Day

RIVERSIDE COUNTY, CA — Riverside County sheriff's officials are investigating the deaths of two people who were found on the same day in different parts of the county. Both were found in unrelated cases on Sunday, just hours apart from each other.

Around 1:15 p.m. Sunday, Temecula police said they were investigating "what appears to be an accidental death with no indication of foul play" near Old Town Front Street and Santiago Road. Additional details about how the person may have died were not available.

"As all investigations do, this one will take time as we work through every aspect of the investigation in order to assure it has been done in a professional and effective manner," police said on Facebook.

Then, just before 3 p.m., deputies from the Hemet sheriff's station were called to SR-74 and South Fork Trail for a "report of a deceased body located," according to sheriff's Sgt. Chris Willison. Officials again said there were "no signs of foul play" in the man's death and are calling the case an unattended death.

"Based on the location of the deceased, personnel from the Aviation Unit and the Coroner’s Bureau hoisted the body off the trial," Willison said.

Neither victim has been publicly identified yet.
