Man found dead near Dodger Stadium during MLB game

An unidentified man was found dead near Dodger Stadium on Wednesday night during a game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the St. Louis Cardinals. The body was discovered at approximately 8:48 p.m. near the intersection of Bernard Street and Stadium Way, located only a few hundred yards from the stadium.

Police were dispatched after 911 callers reported seeing a body in “plain sight.” While one report indicated the man was found hanging, the Los Angeles Police Department stated that no foul play is suspected following their initial investigation.

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has listed the case as pending the identification of the man and the notification of his next of kin. Authorities have not indicated any connection between the death and the ongoing baseball game or the Dodgers organization.
