LOS ANGELES (AP) - Los Angeles police say two hikers found a decomposed body in the city’s sprawling Griffith Park.

Coroner’s officials say the body discovered Monday evening had likely been at the location for about a month.

It was so decomposed that the age and gender of the person could not be determined.

Police say no foul play is immediately suspected but they’ll await a coroner’s investigation before making a final determination.

Covering 6 ½ square miles in the eastern Santa Monica Mountain range, Griffith Park is considered the largest municipal park in the nation.
