PALMDALE – A 34-year-old Palmdale man reported missing by family members was found dead Sunday afternoon near a damaged vehicle off the side of a mountain road, authorities said.
Damien Sisley was found shortly after 4 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 19, in a ravine off Mount Emma Road, just east of Angeles Forest Highway, according to Sgt. Robinson of the California Highway Patrol, Antelope Valley area.
Sisley was last seen on Oct. 12, and he had been reported missing by family members, Robinson said.
“Some friends and family went out looking for him and found the vehicle…” Robinson said. “The body was outside the vehicle, but there was a collision and he was ejected from the vehicle.”
“It’s still under investigation how the collision happened,” Robinson added.
Investigators at the scene said Sisley was possibly driving the Toyota MR2 eastbound on Mount Emma Road when he lost control on a curve and the car plunged off the roadway and crashed into a tree at the bottom of a ravine.
“The date that we put for the collision was Oct. 12 because that’s the last time he was seen,” Robinson said.
Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact the California Highway Patrol, Antelope Valley office at 661-948-8541.

I was his neighbor and I witnessed his kindness to animals on so many occasions. His pet was crying and looking for him all week. I took care of it and I know he would have done the same for me. I was worried but so saddened to hear the worst. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

My word of advice is SPEED KILLS. The Angeles crest highway is very dangerous for normal driving and these mountain roads are not very forgiving for “”ANY”” type mistakes. Families always suffer from these types of tragedies. What is need is more CHP MC citing speedsters and taking away their toys which is better than a death notice to their families.

Damien was about as good a person as you could find. Absolutely tragic. The world could use more people like Damien walking around. It will be a long time before thinking about my friend doesn’t make me sad, but I look forward to a day when I get to think of him and smile, like I always have before.
Enjoy the other side, brother.

We need to take into consideration these accidents those roads are dangerous I’ve drove on them before crashed on the 8th nd luckily survives the crash it makes me think to try to advocate safer driving nd if you are a car enthusiast please take it to the track you can harm others in the car and or people around you please take my word from experience
