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.
