Friday October 30th, Big Bear Sheriff Deputies of the Station responded to a call of a ‘man down’. Upon the arrival of the Sheriff Deputies, they discovered a male  subject lying in the roadway, south of Big Bear Boulevard and Starvation Flats Road. 

The subject was transported by Big Bear Fire ambulance to Bear Valley Community Hospital and pronounced deceased. Investigators believed the subject was the victim of a homicide.
