A man was found dead outside a bar with a dog in Santa Clarita and an investigation of how he died is underway Tuesday.
Deputies from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Santa Clarita Station responded around 11:30 p.m. Monday to The Shot Exchange, a bar located at 26891 Bouquet Canyon Road where they found the victim unconscious outside, with “no apparent injuries,” a Santa Clarita Station watch commander told City News Service.
Video from the scene showed deputies covering the body with green tarps.
Los Angeles Fire Department personnel were called to the scene, where the victim was pronounced dead.
The dog was found alive and taken into custody by Los Angeles County Animal Control, the LASD said.

OMG I feel so bad for the dog. His owner dying, him not knowing what’s happening and next thing he’s in jail.
Does anyone know if the guy had family? If the dog has been picked up? My heart is bleeding for the guys dog. My condolences to the family.
Has anyone noticed a trend of this type of thing since 2020? Pay attention, get stats and you will see.
