LANCASTER – Sheriff’s homicide detectives were called to a Lancaster park Tuesday to investigate the death of a 35-year-old man, a sheriff’s deputy said.

Deputies were sent at 6:50 a.m. to Jane Reynolds Park at 716 W. Oldfield Street, said Deputy Amber Smith of the Sheriff’s Information Bureau.

“The man was pronounced dead at the scene,” Smith said.

Detectives were investigating the circumstances of the unidentified man’s death, she said.

How he died was not disclosed. The man appeared to have been homeless, sheriff’s officials said.

  1. Megan, I’m so sorry for your loss. I had a brother who was murdered many years ago in Louisiana. These deaths are so tragic but our loved ones are safe in the arms of God now.

    I am now looking for another one of my brothers who was last known to be homeless in Lancaster, CA. He has been missing for about 3 months (since October or November of 2015). His name is Kevin Hayes. Please respond to this if you know his whereabouts or anything about where he might be.

    Thank you.

  4. my heart is broken! You might have been alone in the park but I know that you were not alone. God was with you, taking you home to rest. Rest in Paradise, now you will enjoy the joy, love and peace in your soul & mind that you deserve! Megan & Andrew sending u a big hug & prayers through this tragedy!

  7. We need to really get these homeless people off the street instead of spending our tax money in areas that really don’t need it. Like people abusing the social systems…
