Lifeguards and a swift water rescue team retrieved a body Saturday in a concealed space beneath the Culver Boulevard bridge at the Ballona Creek flood control channel, authorities said.
The first responders were dispatched to 13551 W. Culver Blvd. at about 10:40 a.m., the Los Angeles Fire Department reported.
The victim’s gender and age were not yet determined, and the circumstances of the death were being investigated.
Culver Boulevard was closed in both directions between Jefferson and Lincoln boulevards to allow for the retrieval of the body. Officials said there was no time estimate for the street’s re-opening.
