Investigation Underway but Victim Still Unknown

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Homicide detectives have swooped in, launching a full investigation. Authorities have yet to reveal the identity of the victim or the cause of death, leaving many questions hanging over this eerie find.

Malibu: Celeb Haven Now Haunted by Crime
