FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Coroner Case #2008-07146 – JOHN DOE # 214

 

The County of Los Angeles Department of Coroner is seeking the public’s help with the identification of an unidentified male.

 

He was found on a hillside at Foothill Boulevard and Paxton Street in Sylmar, near the overpass of the east-bound SR-118 freeway and the south-bound I-210 interchange, after a fire had been extinguished on October 13, 2008 at 9:50 am.  The fire was an extension of the Marek wildfire.   He appears to be a White or Hispanic male, between 45-60 years of age.  He is approximately 5 feet 3 inches tall and weighs approximately 100 pounds.  Apparently he had lived in a makeshift shelter in the area. A small to medium size dog was found with him. The dog had a blue collar with “WOOF” in clear stones.   No identification was found at the scene.
