The San Diego Police Department is currently investigating a death deemed suspicious after the discovery of a male body in the Serra Mesa neighborhood. Last Saturday, authorities were alerted to the situation when a call was placed to the San Diego Police Communications Center at around 2:42 p.m. The deceased was found in the west alley of 2800 Greyling Drive, as per a statement from the San Diego Police Department.

Officers from the Eastern Division and San Diego Fire-Rescue Department staff responded promptly to the call. On their arrival, they confirmed the presence of a deceased male. Investigators, taking precautions owing to the peculiar circumstances of the death, involved the Homicide Detectives in the case. The detectives at this stage are sifting through the physical evidence collected from the scene.

The identity of the deceased male, believed to be a male in his 30s or 40s, has not yet been released. The cause of death and details regarding his injuries are pending a thorough examination by the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office. With the investigation still in its nascent stages, many questions about the events leading to his death remain unanswered, including why his body ended up in the location where it was discovered.
