Dead man found hanging near Dodger Stadium during game

A dead man was found hanging from a bridge outside Dodger Stadium as the team played, an LAPD spokesperson told The California Post.

The unidentified male was found just off of Bernard Street and Stadium Way near Dodger Stadium at around 8:48 p.m. Wednesday night, the LAPD rep said. The location is just a few hundred yards away from where the Los Angeles Dodgers were taking on the St. Louis Cardinals.

The Dodgers vs. Cardinals game began at 7:10 p.m. and concluded at around 10:10 p.m.

Cops were initially called out to the scene after 911 callers said they saw a dead body “in plain sight,” according to police audio reviewed by The Post.

No foul play was suspected following an investigation, the LAPD spokesperson said.

The matter is still “pending identification and legal next of kin,” the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner added.

The Dodgers lost Wednesday’s game to St. Louis in extra innings, 8–6.
