2 bodies retrieved from Dominguez Channel in Carson

Authorities are investigating after two bodies were found in the Dominguez Channel in Carson on Tuesday and Wednesday morning. 

Homicide detectives with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department learned that a patron at Victoria Golf Course saw the body floating downstream and called authorities on Tuesday. 

Investigators said it was a girl's, but an exact age could not be determined due to its state of decomposition.

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner estimated her age to be between 6 and 13. They said she had brown hair and brown eyes. 

The following morning, deputies found a man's body in the channel on Wednesday morning, roughly seven miles southeast of the girl's remains. Investigators did not release further details. 

It's not yet clear how or when the people died, and the death investigation remains ongoing. Deputies did not immediately determine if the two deaths are related.  

Anyone with information about this incident is encouraged to contact the LA County Sheriff's Department's Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5500.
