The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner is attempting Sunday to determine the cause of death of a sheriff’s deputy who died while on duty.
The South Los Angeles Sheriff’s Station called for an ambulance around 9 p.m. Saturday regarding an “unresponsive deputy,” Deputy Tracy Koerner told City News Service.
The name, gender and age of the deputy were not available, but Koerner said the deputy had served in the department 17 years.
A procession was held when the deputy’s body was moved from the South Los Angeles Sheriff’s Station in the unincorporated Athens area, near Normandie Avenue and the Glenn Anderson (105) Freeway, to the medical examiner’s headquarters in Boyle Heights.
