Here are some updates about the Dead Body Found in Barrel at Malibu Beach:

Authorities say that a maintenance worker first saw the barrel drum floating in the lagoon on Sunday afternoon and brought it onto the shore using a kayak, the Associated Press (AP) reported. The worker said it was too heavy and didn’t want to open it so they left it on the shore, the news site said.

The next morning around 10:10 a.m., a lifeguard saw the barrel in the lagoon and swam out to retrieve it, according to the sheriff’s department. When they brought it ashore, they opened it and found the corpse of a naked Black man inside, authorities said.

“From what I did see it didn’t look to me like it was decomposed or had been there a long time,” Lieutenant Hugo Reynaga of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said.
