Family members found a dead body in the freezer of a San Diego home on Friday, the San Diego Police Department said.
The “out-of-town” family members immediately called police after they found the body in the freezer of a residence on the 4900 block of Zion Avenue at about 11:45 a.m. local time, police said in a press release Saturday.
The body is believed to be female, police said, but added that no other physical details would be confirmed until an official identification can be made.
Because of the “unusual location” where the body was found, the SDPD said its homicide unit was called to investigate.
