The Los Angeles Police Department launched a homicide investigation Tuesday after a homeless man was found dead inside a burning RV near Exposition Park overnight.
The RV fire was first reported around 11:30 p.m. Monday in the 1100 block of Browning Boulevard, near the intersection of Vermont Avenue and West Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, FOX 11 Los Angeles reported.
Police and Los Angeles city firefighters responded, and once flames engulfing the RV were knocked down, a 65-year-old man was found dead inside.
The victim, who was reportedly homeless and living out of the RV, has yet to be publicly named by the coroner’s office pending notification of his family.
