A body was found sitting on a bench near a busy Canoga Park street Wednesday afternoon.

The body was reported just before 12:20 p.m. near the intersection of Sherman Way and Independence Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

Footage shared to the Citizen app shows a sheet over the body, which is in a slightly reclined sitting position on a bench. (Editor's note: The videos at the Citizen link may be upsetting to some.)

The videos show police then surrounding the body with the white tent customary for death investigations.

Police thus far have not released any details on who this person was or how they may have died.
