A dead man was discovered in his wheelchair on the boardwalk during the weekly Venice Beach Homeless Encampment Clean Up on Friday morning.
Paramedics were called and they tried to revive the homeless man, but were unable to do so.
LAFD spokesperson Nicholas Prange said dispatchers received a 911 call at about 8:08 a.m. from a person who said they discovered a dead man near East Rose Avenue. When authorities arrived, they located an approximately 60-year-old man who appeared to be "obviously dead."
Word from people on the scene is the "guy was an older black male named Deral. He was found dead in a wheelchair but they removed him to perform CPR."
Authorities have not released any official information on his identity or the cause of death.
