A man was found shot dead in an Eastlake park early Saturday and police are awaiting word from the Medical Examiner as to whether the case is a homicide or a suicide.
A passerby walking near an amphitheater at Mountain Hawk Park around 6 a.m. spotted the man and initially believed him to be sleeping, according to OnScene.TV.
As he got closer, he realized something was wrong when he saw that the male was bleeding from the head and not moving. Chula Vista police discovered the victim had been shot in the head.
Firefighters arrived and pronounced the man dead.
Authorities summoned the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office to the scene.
