Human Remains Found Near Altadena Home

Human remains were discovered near an Altadena residence on Friday, prompting an investigation by Los Angeles County homicide detectives. Deputies initially responded to the 3500 block of Glenrose Avenue around 10 a.m. after a local resident reported finding potential remains. The LA County Medical Examiner's Office confirmed the discovery was human.

Following the confirmation, investigators from the Sheriff's Department and the Homicide Bureau conducted an initial search of the surrounding area, but found nothing further. Further investigation, including a return to the site with the Medical Examiner's Office's Special Operations Response Team, has been postponed due to inclement weather impacting Southern California over the weekend.

Authorities have not yet identified the individual whose remains were found. The cause and manner of death will be determined by the Medical Examiner's Office at a later date. The investigation remains active and ongoing.
