Man returns from visit, trips on corpse

Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO - A Haight-Ashbury man returning home from an extended vacation tripped and fell on a corpse in his bedroom after finding his apartment had been ransacked, police said.

Authorities have not released the name of the resident or the victim, identified only as a white male, but are treating the death as suspicious, said Sgt. Neville Gittens.

The resident had just come back from a two-week visit in Humboldt County when he made the grisly discovery Monday, Gittens said.

"That is really sad, just terrible," said Kiersten Frey, who has lived on the block for more than 10 years. "It's usually pretty mellow around here."

The resident's orange-and-white tabby cat seen prowling the investigation scene was taken away by animal control officials but was unharmed, said Animal Care and Control Lt. Le-Ellis Brown.
