SAN DIEGO: An autopsy on the body of a Huntington Beach man found dead in City Heights on Tuesday was inconclusive, authorities said yesterday.
San Diego police detectives hope toxicology tests will determine how Dane Chandler Williams died. Results could take up to six weeks.
Williams, 23, was attending the Action Sports Retailer trade show at the San Diego Convention Center when he went missing Saturday morning.
His body was found in a City Heights alley early Tuesday with no obvious sign of trauma, Lt. Kevin Rooney said.
Detectives are investigating what happened to Williams from the time he was last seen alive in the Gaslamp Quarter until his body was discovered.

To all Reps interested:
My name is Josh Buckhalter, I am working with Catalyst Watches to build and get a sales force together across the states and internationally. Catalyst Watches is a new company out of Utah. Recently Catalyst has teamed up with Notion Clothing and will be adding a 2nd distribution point out of California..
Right now there is a market for a watch company that has price point watches that look just as good as Vestal and Nixon. That is where Catalyst is coming into play. Catalyst is dedicated to making quality watches that look good but also are made to last. Catalyst is confidence in their product, that it has a “Guaranteed for Life” commitment. Our competitors are not even coming close to offering a deal like that.
Catalyst is marketing towards the core markets in surf, skate, wake, and snow. Catalyst has made it a point that for at least the for the first 5 years you wont see us in any big department stores and major watch franchises. Catalyst is dedicated to the core shops and riders.
Catalyst is offering 10 to 12 percent commission, along with bonus incentives for opening up accounts and meeting sales goals.
We have programs to encourage shops to care us such as:
-Sponsoring shop kids
-With each order buyer or owner of the shop gets a free watch
-For employees of the shop, for every x amount of watches sold they can earn a free watch
-POP for stores (banners, signs, counter top displays, floor displays)
-Funds for sponsoring events and contests
These are just some of the incentives and packages we have to offer shops and sales reps. Almost all territories are open except for Utah and parts of California. If this sounds of interest please call me or email me.
Thanks,
Joshua Buckhalter
