Police are investigating the unexplained death of a man whose partially decomposed body was found Sunday morning in an East Oakland creek, police said.
Officers responded at 9:25 a.m. to a report of the body in the 8100 block of Baldwin Street, not far from the Coliseum BART station, police said.
People walking to the station spotted the man’s body in the creek, which leads to the San Leandro Bay at the Martin Luther King Jr. Regional Shoreline in Oakland.
Investigators are still trying to determine how long the man’s body had been in the water or what caused his death.
A deputy with the Alameda County Coroner’s Bureau said the man had not yet been identified.
