Loved ones are devastated after a 63-year-old man was found dead at a park in San Bernardino County and his belongings were found in a trash can nearby.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

On July 19, a passerby called police to report a body found at Rialto City Park<\/a> in Rialto around 5:22 a.m.<\/p>\n

The victim, Jose De Jesus Arriaga Loza, 63, was found naked and lying on the grass. His clothing, wallet, cash and driver’s license were found inside a nearby trash can.<\/p>\n

Investigators said there were injuries to his face that were “consistent with either a fall or a physical altercation.”<\/p>\n

The man’s son, Juan Jose Arriaga Trejo, said that his father had “a broken nose and some lacerations to the face.”<\/p>\n

He told KTLA’s Sara Welch that he couldn’t believe his father’s life would end this way.<\/p>\n

“He deserved better,” Trejo said. “My father was a great man and for him to have suffered this painful death, I feel like nobody deserves this.”<\/p>\n

It remains unclear how Loza ended up at the park that day, which is located just a few miles from his home in North Rialto.<\/p>\n

Trejo said his father worked as a cook and he was unaware of anyone who would want to hurt him or had issues with him.<\/p>\n

“I have talked to so many coworkers and friends and they all tell me the same thing \u2014 he was just admired everywhere he went,” Trejo said.<\/p>\n

Although the circumstances surrounding Loza’s death are unclear, investigators said, “Robbery does not appear to have been a factor.” The case is being investigated as a suspicious death.<\/p>\n

His family hopes footage from nearby surveillance cameras will shed light on the events leading up to the 63-year-old’s death.<\/p>\n

“I’m really hoping, with the help of the community, that somebody steps up and hopefully the detectives will find something and give us answers and the closure we deserve,” Trejo said.<\/p>\n

A GoFundMe page to help Loza’s family with funeral expenses can be found here.<\/a><\/p>\n
