LOS ANGELES — Authorities say a hiker who went missing more than two weeks ago was found dead in Griffith Park with his dog by his side.
Twenty-nine-year-old Oscar Hernandez was reported missing on March 16.
His body was found Thursday night in a remote area of the sprawling urban park.
His dog, King, was alive but emaciated. A relative says the dog apparently hadn’t left Hernandez’s side for two weeks.
Hernandez was last seen near the park's merry-go-round hiking trails.
There's no immediate word on the cause of his death.
A watch commander at the station in charge of Griffith Park says foul play is not suspected.
