Authorities are investigating after a body was discovered near an Orange County recreational park on Thursday.
The victim is a man, but his identity has not been released by Orange County Fire Authority.

Due to the body’s location, which was down an embankment, crews diverted the response to a technical recovery operation.
“Technical rescue units with highly-trained USAR firefighters” responded to the scene, officials said.
Crews eventually removed the body from its confined location. The man’s cause of death is unknown and remains under investigation.
