A body was recovered in the Sunken City coastal ruin in San Pedro Tuesday evening.
Firefighters responded at approximately 6:30 p.m. Tuesday to the 500 block of West Paseo Del Mar to reports of an individual in a body of water, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
The unidentified victim was recovered and pronounced dead at the scene.
Details about how the victim ended up in the body of water remain limited, as the Los Angeles Police Department continued investigating the death.
The Sunken City is the site of a natural landslide that occurred in the Point Fermin area of San Pedro, beginning in 1929. A slump caused several beachside homes to slide into the ocean.
The area is fenced off and not open to the public.
