lasdgenericLos Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Homicide Bureau detectives responded Thursday evening to the 19000 block of Pleasantdale Street in Canyon County to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of a male adult and a female adult.

The individuals were found deceased on Thursday, May 5, at approximately 6:15 p.m.

When homicide detectives arrived, they learned that Santa Clarita deputies responded to the location to check on the welfare of the residents. The informant in the call stated they had not seen the residents of the home for several weeks and there was a strong odor emitting from the home.

Once deputies arrived on scene, they checked the location and discovered a male adult and a female adult inside the home. Both individuals were deceased and in the advanced stages of decomposition.

It is believed that both individuals reside at that residence. Detectives are following up on how and when each of the victims died. No foul play is suspected at this time.

An autopsy will be conducted on both victims and the exact cause of death will be determined by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner.

There is no further information at this time.

Anyone with information about this incident is encouraged to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5500. If you prefer to provide information anonymously, you may call “Crime Stoppers” by dialing (800) 222-TIPS (8477), or texting the letters TIPLA plus your tip to CRIMES (274637), or by using the website http://lacrimestoppers.org.

    So wrong in soo many ways.

  2. Vanessa Gonzalez is this close to your house?

  3. Ralph Green says:

    No foul play suspected? That’s odd. Wonder what killed them

  4. Wow down my street.

  5. Thanks for the info. SCVTV

  6. We’re moving back to South Central

  7. This is down the hill from us. I wonder if it was carbon monoxide poisoning. God grant this family peace.

  8. Jay Bernie oh man way too close to home

  9. Caelan McElli… that’s right down the street from my house

  10. No foul play, maybe they didn’t see evidence of break in and didn’t find any bullet shell casings. Maybe carbon monoxide… Where ever there family may be bring them peace and comfort Lord.

  11. Another article points to “natural causes” with one being more advanced than the other. Possibly an elderly couple that didn’t act on the spouse’s death?

  12. Does anyone know which house it was on pleasantdale?

    • It was on the corner across the street from the school just before you get to crossglade. Not sure of the street number but I live down the street and drove by last night and saw the caution tape everywhere.

    • The green house I believe. Sad I’m sure they had family members and never checked on them in that long. I don’t go a day without calling my parents?

  13. In another interview the sheriff’s said one person had been dead a long time and the other more recently. No foul play suspected. I didn’t catch the ages. Weird that it was just a welfare check because someone hadn’t seen them for a while and there was foul odor from the house itself. . There was a film crew walking around talking to a certain few families either walking down the street or parked by the school. It was strange.

  14. Jeanne Marten says:

    Maybe the caretaker spouse passed from a heart attack or something and the other spouse was unable to get help and passed from no food or water.

    Awful.
