A body was found Thursday morning in an alleyway in Orland.

The report came in shortly before 6 a.m. on June 6.

The man’s body was located on the east side of the alley that runs from the Orland Car Wash south to Colusa Street.

The body was near the northeast corner of a small, trash- and weed-infested vacant lot. It may have been there for a day or more.

The body was first noticed by an area resident who could see it near the weeds.

The man was lying face-up. This reporter did not notice any obvious signs of foul play, and it is thought he may have died from a medical issue.

As of this time, the man’s identity has not been released, pending notification of next of kin. The person is reportedly known to the Glenn County law enforcement community.

The incident is being investigated by Officer Brandon Sutton of the Orland Police Department. The coroner’s case is being handled by the Glenn County Sheriff’s Office.
