BREAKING🚨: Officers discovered the decomposing body of 37-year-old Eric Valencia in the backseat of an unlocked, out-of-service patrol car parked right in front of the Azusa Police Department station.
Valencia had been arrested on March 20 for suspected DUI (BAC nearly 2x the legal limit) and child endangerment while driving with his kids. He was released from custody on March 23 around 1 p.m. with his property and a lunch from the jail—no signs of distress.
Surveillance video shows him walking out, looking around, then voluntarily entering the rear of patrol unit 37 and closing the door behind him. He had a functioning cellphone but never called for help.
His family reported him missing the next day. A maintenance worker found his body on March 26 (after ~3 days in the vehicle) while prepping cars for washing. Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. No obvious trauma noted; cause of death still under investigation by the LA County coroner.
