Body Found In Wilmington Garage; Death Investigated As Homicide

WILMINGTON, CA – A body was found Friday in a residential garage in Wilmington, triggering a homicide investigation, police said.

The body, which was only described by the coroner's office as that of a male, was discovered about 7:45 a.m. in the 1200 block of North Marine Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Police Department, which did not release the victim's age or cause of death.

Paramedics sent to the same address took a 63-year-old man to a hospital in fair condition for treatment of an unspecified medical complaint, and another man, whose age was not known, to a hospital in good condition, also for treatment of an unspecified medical complaint, the Los Angeles Fire Department reported.

Authorities withheld the name of the dead person, pending notification of his relatives.
