Posted by Christina on Jun 17 2009 | Swimming Accident, dead body, identified

A mans body that had been discovered previously by a creek bed in Encinitas sometime last week was identified by the medical examiner’s office as Mark Thomas Van Thyne. 

Van Thyne, 45, was by Cottonwood Creek hanging out with a buddy on June 9 and the two were drinking when he wanted to take a dip into the creek, Sheriff’s Sgt. Jack Reynolds reported. 

He dove into a shallow part, struck his head and then slowly made his way out of the water and onto shore, Reynolds stated. Von Thyne and his friend both fell asleep after. 

The friend attempted to wake Thyne up the following day, but he was making no progress when Thyne would not react or respond, the sergeant mentioned.  

At first, officials believed Van Thyne’s death was purposefully done because of visible injuries on his head, but was later found out to be accidental. 

Sheriff’s officials mentioned before they they are led to believe Van Thyne was a homeless who hung around the beach area often.

Body found wrapped in blanket in Barrio Logan

Posted by Christina on Jun 17 2009 | dead body

Police are currently looking into a case involving the discovery of a woman’s dead body dumped in Barrio Logan Monday morning wrapped inside a blanket.

The body was found a little before 8 a.m. in the alley behind Main Street near South 31st Street, homicide Lt. Kevin Rooney reported. 

Detectives did not unwrap the body and begin to examine it until personnel from the medical examiner’s office arrived at the scene, but they reported that from what they could see the body had suffered major trauma. 

Ana Lopez, the daughter of the couple who runs the Chago’s Auto Service close-by, informed that her mother was on her way to the shop when she saw the ragged blanket laying beside a fence in an alleyway in the area that is in the midst of some small businesses and homes. 

She walked over to a different business located close to hers and told a man what she saw, he went over to the blanket and uncovered it to find the body. They dialed the police right after. 

According to Lopez, the body may have belonged to a homeless woman who is seen often around the area. Her mother noticed that the black sandals she was wearing were the same as the homeless woman’s and her husband was conversing  with police and crying. 

Rooney reported investigators are still working on finding out how or where the woman died. Her name has not been released.
