Police checking a report of a body found at Mountain View Park in El Monte encountered a bleeding man at the same park Wednesday.

Investigators said the two incidents are unrelated.

Authorities have not yet identified the dead man who investigators described as a white man in his 60s.

Sheriff’s Homicide Detective Joe Espino said there are no signs of foul play or trauma to the body. He said the death could be due to an overdose or natural causes.

However, the coroner will determine the cause of death.

Someone saw a man lying face down at the park at 12127 Elliott Ave. and called El Monte police at 11:53 a.m., according to El Monte police Lt. Ernie Cramer. He said the dead man appeared to be a transient.

Cramer said officers who responded to the park were approached by another man.

Espino said while the man talked to police, officers saw blood coming down his pants. The man told police his stomach hurt.

Espinos said the man was bleeding from his rectum. He was taken to a hospital.

“(He) was having a medical emergency. It appears to be gastrointestinal bleeding,” Espino said. “He was fortunate the fire department was there.”
