The Anaheim Police Department is investigating a possible homicide after a body was found Tuesday morning.

The body was discovered by officers just before 4 a.m. in the 8700 bock of East Santa Ana Canyon Road when police officers and Anaheim Fire and Rescue personnel were responding to a small fire, said Sgt. Jon McClintock.

At the scene, a side street running next to the 91 Freeway in Anaheim Hills, responders found a man’s body that had been burned. McClintock confirmed that the incident is being investigated as a homicide.

The man who initially reported the fire did so from a phone outside a nearby fire station, and detectives are hoping to identify that man so they can speak with him again.

Anyone with information on the caller or the victim is asked to call police at 714-321-3669.
