The discovery of a man's body in an apartment building in Westwood is being treated as a suspected suicide, police said today.
Samuel Oliver, 21, said Coroner's Lt. David Smith, adding that a cause of his death has yet to be established.
Oliver's body was found after firefighters responded to a structure fire call in the 600 block of Kelton Avenue at 1:30 a.m., a videographer at the scene said.
Los Angeles Police Sgt. Brian Cook said the death was being investigated as a suicide.
Police and fire personnel remained at the scene, Cook said. He would not say if any fire damage had been found.
