Canadian media personality George Stroumboulopoulos says a man found dead inside his Hollywood Hills home early Friday morning was a “dear friend” who was staying at the residence while he was in New York.

In a Facebook post, Stroumboulopoulos said he has few details, but that he and his circle of friends are “devastated” by the news and that it appears to be the result of a break-in.

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) says the man died of blunt force trauma and a suspect wearing a black jacket was seen running from the home. Police searched the area but didn’t find the suspect.

Police found the man’s body after responding to a report of a robbery. He has been identified as Richard Hong, 41, a Canadian actor.

“Many of you have seen the reports of a homicide which occurred early this morning in the home I rent in Los Angeles,” Stroumboulopoulos wrote. “I only have a few details but it seems like it was the result of a break in. The victim was a dear friend of mine, who was staying at my place while I was away. I am heartbroken.”
