Deputies investigate after man found dead in Cabazon

The sheriff’s department is investigating after a man was found dead inside a mobile home in Cabazon Tuesday afternoon. Authorities were responding to a possible house fire in the 51900 block of Lois Avenue when they made the discovery.

Deputies said they noticed smoke coming from one of the rooms when they arrived to the scene. Cal Fire was called to investigate and determined the home wasn’t on fire.

Authorities entered the home and came across a room with a barricaded door. They said they entered and found a man deceased inside the room. The coroner is working to determine the cause of death.
