BEVERLY HILLS -- Some skateboarders made a shocking discovery inside a vacant Beverly Hills home.They found the decomposing body of a man. Now police are asking for public help to identify him. Officials say the teenagers were skateboarding in the 700 block of North Alta Drive on June 26 when they smelled a foul odor and made the discovery inside an abandoned house. Terrified, they had a relative call police. Beverly HIlls police Lt. Executive Officer Tony Lee said the body was curled in a fetal position and appeared to have been mummified, though he did not elaborate. The L.A. County Coroner's office says the man had been dead for about a year. Based on an assortment of old bags and a bicycle near the body, officers determined the deceased was probably homeless. He's described as a white man in his 40s or 50s. Police were reportedly following up with the property owner, who does not appear to have visited the house in a long time. Investigators do not suspect foul play in the man's death. Copyright © 2008, KTLA More Coverage
