A mysterious body was discovered floating in a marina’s empty boat slip in the Port of Los Angeles Saturday near Wilmington.
“It (the body) was just found in an empty boat slip,” according to Lt. Ken Hawkes of the Los Angeles Port Police.
Two Los Angeles Fire Department fireboats were dispatched at 9:10 a.m. to Leeward Bay Marina, 411 N. Henry Ford Ave., to assist the port police in taking the body out of the water, said Brian Humphrey of the Los Angeles Fire Department.
The body was discovered about 9:10 a.m. by a citizen, Hawkes said. Officials had quite a mystery to solve, as there was no information immediately available about the victim, including the body’s gender.
