None of the other roommates were home at the time of the discovery, police said.
"We heard the sirens coming, we heard all of the ambulances coming in," neighbor Jay Robut said. "We're pretty close so you could hear all the commotion going on."
Police are investigating the death as a homicide and were waiting for a search warrant to remove evidence from the apartment, Santa Ana Police Cpl. Anthony Bertagna said.
After interviewing all five roommates, police do not believe they were involved, Bertagna said.
