A SigAlert was issued Tuesday morning for the southbound 101 Freeway in the Cahuenga Pass as police investigated a body found on an offramp.

Details were still developing as officers remained on the scene, but a sergeant at the Los Angeles Police Department’s Hollywood Station said preliminary information indicated the death was caused by an accidental fall or suicide.
