A body was dumped in a wooded area near Los Angeles. By the time it was discovered about 24 hours after the killing, animals had already attacked and eaten a significant amount of it. No further info.

Postmortem animal interference of human corpses or remains is a well known phenomenon to forensic death investigators, the morphological appearance of these injuries can be misinterpreted by police officers investigating the suspected crime scene or by the consulted medical practitioner.
