Body of man found in foreclosed Westchester home
An autopsy was pending today to determine the cause of death of a 45-year-old man who was found inside a foreclosed home for sale in the Westchester area, authorities said.
The body was discovered Saturday night in the 8900 block of Kittyhawk Avenue, said Officer Rosario Herrera of the Los Angeles Police Department. Paramedics pronounced the man dead at the home, she said.
Details about how the body was discovered were not immediately available. Police would not confirm a published report that said a real estate agent showing the house to a buyer discovered the body.
The three-bedroom, two-bathroom home is bank-owned and listed for sale by Modern Realty Co., which specializes in foreclosures and bank-owned properties throughout Los Angeles and Orange counties, according to its website. A company representative could not be reached for comment.
