The body of Mostafa Mahmoud Zayed, 75, an apparent suicide, sat decomposing on his Marina del Rey balcony for four days because neighbours thought the lifeless figure was a dummy and didn't call police.
Mostafa Mahmoud Zayed had apparently been dead since Monday with a single gunshot wound to one eye. He was slumped over a chair on the third-floor balcony of his apartment on Bora Bora Way.
Neighbours said that they noticed the body on Monday "but didn't bother calling authorities because it looked like a Halloween dummy."
An investigator with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said the case is an "apparent suicide," and declined to comment further.
