Malibu Death Outside Nursery Could Be 'Suspicious': Deputies

MALIBU, CA — The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, Lost Hills Station began investigating a man found dead outside Trancas Canyon Nursery Tuesday morning, considering the death to be potentially "suspicious," authorities said.

The man was pronounced dead on the scene, the Lost Hills station said. His cause of death was not immediately released, though his death is being investigated by the homicide bureau, authorities said. The station said in a Tweet there was a "possible assault" overnight at the nursery.

The man seemingly suffered some kind of blunt force trauma to the upper torso, officials told KTLA.

The man was wearing what looks like a security uniform, according to NBC Los Angeles. The Lost Hills Station responded to call at 7:12 a.m. reporting a man lying in pool of blood in the 30000 block of Pacific Coast Highway, authorities said.
