Police in Marina Del Ray said Thursday that the death of a woman whose body was found on a boat a week ago was ruled a murder. The death of a man whose body was found in a nearby car on the same day was ruled a suicide. Deputies also thought he lived on the boat.
At 11:12 a.m. on December 7, the Harbor del Rey Sheriff’s Office called deputies to the 14000 block of Tahiti Way to check on the well-being of someone on a boat in the harbor. The body of the lady was found when they got there, said Lt. Steven De Jong of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
Someone in Los Angeles called the police because they knew the people who lived on the boat. The person told the cops about a car in the 100 block of Van Marina where the body of 33-year-old Kelvin Nelson Jr. was found. The sheriff’s office said that this information came to light during their probe.
