Beachgoer finds human leg on California coast

A beachgoer walking the Bluff Cove Trail early Christmas morning discovered a severed portion of a human leg among the rocks of the Palos Verdes Estates’ beach, according to police.

The Los Angeles County Department of the Medical Examiner took possession of the body part and has not made any identification, said Capt. Aaron Belda, of the Palos Verdes Estates Police Department.

A cadaver dog searched the vicinity in the 800 block of Paseo Del Mar and did not locate anything else, Belda said.
