KTLA reports:
Video showed investigators at the scene standing next to the man, who was lying on his back wearing a red sweatshirt.
A canopy was brought to the scene to cover the unidentified man as the investigation continued.
The spokesperson said the cause of death was under investigation.
The Los Angeles Police Department has not confirmed if the man’s death was related to the riots at this time.
The riots, sparked by ICE raids starting June 6, have entered their fifth day.
Over 150 rioters have been arrested. At least five LAPD officers and six California Highway Patrol officers have been injured.
In an attempt to stop the chaos, President Donald Trump deployed 2,000 National Guard troops to the area on June 7, followed by an additional 2,000 and 700 Marines two days later.
ICE has made 118 arrests as the riots continue.
