CAMPBELL — Detectives are investigating the death of a Los Gatos man whose body was discovered along the Los Gatos Creek Trail over the weekend but have generally ruled out foul play, according to Campbell police.

Passersby on the trail spotted the body about 7:30 a.m. Saturday on the west embankment of the creek just north of Hamilton Avenue, Capt. Gary Berg said. Because of the steepness of the embankment in the area, the Santa Clara County Fire Department had to rappel down at least 30 feet to retrieve the body.

The Santa Clara County Medical Examiner-Coroner’s Office identified the man as 50-year-old Ara Sarfarian of Los Gatos.

Berg said there were no obvious signs of foul play and that the case is being treated as a death investigation. There were no missing-persons reports associated with him, and no police calls prior to the discovery.
