The age, gender and race of the person whose body was found at 12:38 p.m. are not yet known.

Firefighters determined that the hanged person was dead when the body was discovered near 4730 Crystal Springs Drive, though the circumstances surrounding the death were not immediately clear.

3. How horrible. I played on that merry go round as a child when we picnicked at Griffith Park...

Murder and desecration of a corpse is awful — but in a place where children play?
