According to the information available, the man’s body was discovered near Mile Marker 58.2 in the Cajon Pass, north of the San Bernardino Valley. Emergency responders were dispatched to the area after the victim was located, and investigators quickly secured the scene to begin processing evidence.
The victim was pronounced dead at the scene. At this time, his identity has not been publicly released, pending official notification of his next of kin.

Officials are urging the public to avoid speculation while detectives continue gathering evidence. Additional information is expected to be released as investigators make progress and as appropriate notifications are completed.
