This home has an owner

WESTCHESTER (CNS) - A real estate agent made a startling discovery while
showing a house in Westchester -- a body on the living room floor, police
said today.
The encounter happened in a 1,900-square-foot house at 8917 Kittyhawk
Ave. about 7 p.m. Saturday, according to police and a camera crew.
Police told a Newsreel video crew the agent, who was preparing to show
the three-bedroom, two-bath house couldn't find the key in the lockbox on the
door, then went with the client to the backyard and found a broken window.
Inside was the body of a man in his 30s on the living room floor.
It was unclear how long the man had been dead, but detectives put on
masks when they went inside. A white car on the street may have belonged to the
victim, Newsreel reported.
Police confirmed the basic facts, but detectives don't know what
happened, LAPD spokeswoman Rosario Herrera said.
The body was turned over to the coroner's office for an autopsy, which
should establish the cause of death.
The apparently bank-owned house is priced at $539,000 and listed by the
Modern Realty Co., which specializes in foreclosures and bank-owned properties,
according to its Web site.
