Body found at SoFi Stadium
Inglewood police are investigating the death early Friday of a man in his 20s.
A man was found dead early Friday near the construction trailer complex at the SoFi Stadium development in Inglewood.
The Los Angeles County medical examiner- coroner said a Latino male in his 20s was pronounced dead at 2: 34 a. m. The man’s name hasn’t been released because the next of kin has yet to be notified. An autopsy is pending. A spokeswoman for the development said Inglewood police are investigating the death.
A construction worker at the stadium died in June after falling more than 110 feet from the building’s roof. His family sued the project’s developers in L. A. County Superior Court.
A second construction worker died at the project site in July. Turner- AECOM Hunt, the joint venture overseeing construction, said at the time that he had exhibited “signs of a health issue.” The medical examinercoroner hasn’t released a cause of death or an autopsy report, pending further investigation.
The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health is investigating the June and July deaths, but a spokesman said the agency isn’t involved in the inquiry into Friday’s death.
Inglewood police asked anyone with information on the death to contact homicide detectives at ( 310) 4125246.
