Real Estate Agent Finds Dead Body Inside Foreclosed Home

A real estate agent called 911 on Friday morning after going to check on a foreclosed home in the 25000 block of Pierson Road and finding a dead body inside, said Sgt. Walter Mendez of the Riverside, CA County Sheriff's Central Homicide Unit.

The agent left the residence immediately and called authorities.  Deputies from the sheriff's Perris Station responded and confirmed there were two dead people inside the home, Mendez said.

The deaths were being treated as suspicious and were under investigation by the sheriff's Central Homicide Unit.

What would you do in this situation?  The agent reacted very appropriately by leaving the premises immediately and calling law enforcement authorities.  Real estate agents are not law enforcement, detectives, eviction specialists, etc......When walking in on this kind of situation--or any other unauthorized person in a property--leave immediately and call authorities from a safe location.

Kudos to this real estate agent for doing the right thing and for staying safe!
