Tragic Discovery on Rancho Palos Verdes Beach
Body Found on Cliffside
A body was discovered on Saturday, December 28, several hundred yards down a beach cliffside in Rancho Palos Verdes. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department responded to the incident at around 12:56 pm after a hiker spotted the person from the cliff and called authorities.
Dramatic Rescue Efforts
Paramedics arrived at the scene and pronounced the adult deceased. Officials have not yet identified the person. It is believed that the individual fell from Dina’s Viewpoint, above where the body was found, and was in a state of severe decomposition, suggesting that the person has been dead for an extended period.
Investigation Underway
The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are working to determine if there is a connection between the found body and other recent discoveries in the area. Just a few days ago, two human legs were found, and over a month ago, a human skull and other bones were discovered in Palos Verdes Estates. However, authorities have confirmed that these earlier discoveries are not related to the body found on Saturday.
New Developments
Additionally, investigators are looking into a possible connection between the found body and two men who went missing early Tuesday while fishing in a boat that was later found on the shoreline. The men are still missing, and the investigation is ongoing.
