Investigation underway in Malibu after man's body found in water

Homicide detectives said there was no clear indication of foul play after firefighters recovered the unidentified man from the water.

  • On Sept 9, authorities investigated a dead body found at a beach near Malibu Lagoon, with Los Angeles County Fire Department crews arriving around 3 p.m. to recover the man.
  • Firefighters found the man naked when pulling him from the water; his identity has not yet been released. Homicide detectives with the Los Angeles County Sheriff department reported no clear indication of foul play.
  • Malibu declared a state of emergency following coastal erosion, as a massive sinkhole at the beachfront home of Nicolas Cage caused 31 surrounding properties to be red-tagged.
  • Separately, the Long Beach Police Department investigated a deadly shooting reported Sept 9 near 21st Street and Cerritos Avenue, where officers found a man shot in the upper body who died at the hospital.
  • Aerial footage from NewsChopper4 showed police processing the Long Beach scene, while information regarding suspects and the identity of the deceased man in Malibu remains unavailable as both investigations continue.
