Multiple human remains have been discovered along the Palos Verdes Peninsula coastline in recent days, including a body found Saturday. Authorities are unable to identify the remains or determine a cause of death. The discoveries follow the disappearance of two fishermen whose small boat was found overturned near the area.
Human remains continue to be found on the coast around the Palos Verdes Peninsula. A human body in a “state of decay” was found by a hiker Saturday on beach rocks off a trail in Rancho Palos Verdes, according to law enforcement officials. The discovery follows recent discoveries of a human skull and bones, two legs and a femur at various locations along the peninsula. Thus far, police and medical examiners have been unable to identify whose remains they are or a cause of death.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said the body found Saturday had “probably been there for months ... it’s in a state of decay.” The trail of events: Nov. 18: A human skull and a human bone were found near the 300 block of Paseo Del Mar. Palos Verdes Estates police searched the beach area and found more bones. Monday: Fishermen who apparently ignored a small craft warning went missing amid high winds and powerful waves.
