A man was found dead Sunday near the perimeter of Disneyland Resort in California, triggering a police investigation and sending pedestrians around a section of sidewalk closed at the scene.
Anaheim police and Anaheim Fire and Rescue crews responded to the Disneyland property near 800 West Katella Avenue at approximately 1:45 p.m. Paramedics pronounced the man dead at the location.
Authorities focused their investigation beneath the resort’s large arched blue entrance sign.
Officers secured the sidewalk with yellow crime scene tape and placed a black privacy screen beneath the gateway, shielding the body from nearby motorists and pedestrians.
A beer can was reportedly discovered close to the man, although investigators have not determined whether it was connected to his death. The cause remains unknown.

Video from the scene showed personnel from the Orange County Coroner’s Office, dressed in formal attire, transferring a covered mortuary gurney into an unmarked white minivan parked on Katella Avenue.

Visitors and other pedestrians were directed around the restricted area while authorities continued their work.
Police have not identified the man or released further information about the circumstances surrounding the incident. The LA Times reported that he was 65 years old.
