logo_chp[KHTS] Family members found a relative who was reported missing last week in an overturned car down an Acton embankment, officials said Monday.

Damien Sisley, 34, of Palmdale, was found Sunday afternoon in his car down an embankment, off Mt. Emma Road and Angeles Forest Highway, said Sgt. B. Robinson of the Palmdale California Highway Patrol Station. Officials notified the family of Sisley.

“The family was out trying to find him and they found him,” Robinson said.

Sisley had been reported missing Oct. 18 at 3 a.m., but officials said his body looked to have been deceased since Oct. 12, Robinson said.

Lt. Fred Corral of the Los Angeles County Department of Coroner said the body was brought in early Monday morning and investigators with the Coroner’s Office have not conducted their investigation or identification, yet.

No more information is available at this time and the investigation remains ongoing.

    This story makes no sense. The family found his body but investigators notified them he was found but the coroner hasn’t identified the body yet…yeah that all adds up.

  2. The family found him but when investigators who deal with dead bodies saw the body the told the family it looked like it had been there since X amount of time the article didn’t say that officials found the body of the man. And I’ve been on some of these roads at night they are dark there’s lots of drop offs and lots of vegetation. I can see how it would be hard to look not knowing what road was taken and given the environment of the area especially at night those roads are hard to drive. They freak me out…..
