A co-worker found a man dead inside a business in California on Sept. 20, deputies told news outlets.

Officials with Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Carson station were dispatched after reports of a person needing medical rescue at a business in the 1700 block of Del Amo Boulevard, according to FOX 11 Los Angeles.

The victim, identified as a man in his 50s, suffered blunt trauma, according to KTLA. He was pronounced dead at the scene, and his exact cause of death has not been determined. An investigation is underway.

“We know the victim worked late into the night so at some point, during the night, some kind of incident occurred here,” LASD Lt. Derrick Alfred told KABC. “We’re trying to determine if it’s possibly accidental or an intentional act.”

Authorities do not have a suspect or any information about a possible suspect, according to several news outlets.
