A Los Angeles hiker was found dead after being for two weeks. Authorities were shocked to see that his dog never left his side. The hiker, Oscar Alejandro Hernandez, who was 29 years old, was found on Thursday night in a very remote part of Griffith Park. Hernandez was reported missing on March 16 and no one had seen him since 2:30 a.m. that night. He was last seen in the hills of Griffith Park.
The Story of His Death
There were flyers all around Los Angeles with his picture on them and his family did everything that they could in order to find him. He was last seen by the merry-go-round at the park, according to police. His dog, King, was found lying right beside him when his body was found.
Hiked Found Dead After Missing For Two Weeks
King was a golden retriever and according to the first responders, he looked tired and hungry. There was a video shared on Twitter of his dog and how he was with him the entire time. The cause of his death has not been released as of yet and it is very unclear about what happened in the park.
His body was found a pretty far distance from where he was last seen at the merry-go-round. The Los Angeles Fire Department and the police joined the park rangers, along with his family to help search for him. He was found on Thursday night after quite a lengthy search. When they used a helicopter to search for him, they ended up finding his body on a hillside.
There is still an investigation going on about what happened to Hernandez. Of course, there are plenty of rumors going around about what happened, but nothing has been confirmed as of right now.
There will be an autopsy to determine how he died and if any foul play was involved. His family was so happy to see that his dog was still with him and that is a very heartwarming part of this story. His dog loved him unconditionally and this is the brightest side to this story possible.
The Los Angeles Police Department asks for any help of those who may have witnessed anything while Hernandez was in Griffith Park. Our hearts and thoughts go out to his family and friends and we hope that they can find some closure soon. We hope that the autopsy can help out. We will keep an eye on this case and any changes.
