A body was found “lodged inside of a sewage hole” near Jack London Square, according to the Oakland Police Department.
The person was found unresponsive inside the hole at about 7:40 a.m. Saturday in the 300 block of Broadway, the police department reported. Oakland firefighters helped remove the person, and though paramedics tried to render aid, the person was pronounced dead at the scene.
The circumstances surrounding how the person ended up in the hole, and how long that person had been in there, remain unclear.
