Two bodies have been found in the Dominguez Channel area in recent days, a man on Wednesday, Sept. 2, and the day before a girl estimated to have been 6 and 13 years old.<\/p>\n
The man\u2019s body was found around 8:30 a.m. Wednesday when deputies responded to a report of an unresponsive person alongside the Dominguez Channel in the 2100 block of East Sepulveda Boulevard.<\/p>\n
The Sheriff\u2019s Department reported that another body was found in the channel near the Victoria Golf Course in Carson the day before, at about noon, floating, close to the Dominguez Channel Bike Path in the 20000 block of South Avalon Boulevard.<\/p>\n
The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner determined the girl was four-foot-four to four-foot-eight and weighed 60 to 85 pounds. She had dark-brown or black hair and brown eyes.<\/p>\n
Sheriff\u2019s officials said the girl was in a state of \u201csevere decomposition.\u201d It was unclear if any foul play was suspected.<\/p>\n
On Thursday, Sept. 3, Lt. Daniel Vizcarra said the two bodies are being investigated as \u201ctwo separate incidents,\u201d and so far \u201cno connection has been established between the two incidents.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cInvestigators learned a patron at a local golf course, which runs along the Dominguez Channel, saw the girl floating downstream and called emergency services,\u201d sheriff\u2019s officials said in a statement.<\/p>\n
