Rotten body found covered up in San Bernardino- Foul Play

San Bernardino police homicide detectives came to an 11th Street neighborhood this morning after someone found a body.
Police received a report of the body at 9:05 a.m. at the rear of a residence in the 200 block of East 11th Street, according to Sgt. Gary Robertson. About a dozen officers and eight police vehicles are at the scene.

A resident had reported smelling a suspicious odor from the back of the home. Officers investigated and found a five-foot hole in the backyard. Pieces of wood and other debris were covering the body of a person who had been dead at least several days, Robertson said.

"Everything is very suspicious in nature at this point in time," Robertson said.

Officers are rounding up witnesses for their investigation, police said. They are also awaiting the arrival of the coroner's department on scene.
