Man Found Stabbed To Death In Pacific Palisades

PACIFIC PALISADES, CA — Police are investigating the stabbing death of a man whose body was found in the Pacific Palisades over the weekend.

The man was found at about 1:30 p.m near Temescal Canyon Road Saturday, prompting police to partially close the road between Pacific Coast Highway and Palisades Charter High School while they investigated.
“It looks like he had been stabbed and was pronounced deceased at the scene,” said Los Angeles Police Department Officer Drake Madison. “It does not appear to be gang related.”

No arrests have been made, and police have not publicly identified a suspect.

It was the second body found near Pacific Palisades in less than a week, but there is no apparent connection between the two cases.

Police are still investigating the death of a young woman whose body was found July 16 near a hiking trail in Topanga State Park. The woman was identified as Maggie Dykshorn, 24. She did not appear to be the victim of foul play, investigators said. Her cause of death is under investigation.
