Update: Body Discovered Behind Jonathan's Market

Updated at 12:25 p.m., Jan. 11: Police looked at video from the store and saw images of a tractor- trailer backing into the alley, leading them to believe the truck hit the garbage bin and pushed it into the man, San Diego police spokeswoman Lt. Andra Brown said.

It was unclear if authorities were able to identify the truck from its license plate. The driver had not been found as of about noon. Brown said she did not know why the driver pulled in behind the store. The driver may have been lost or turning around, she said. It was unclear if the video gave investigators the rough time of the accident.

The body of a man was discovered behind a La Jolla market early today but foul play was not immediately suspected, police said.

An employee at in the 7600 block of Fay Avenue discovered the body about 7 a.m., said San Diego police Lt. Andra Brown. The body was pinned between a loading dock and a Dumpster, she said.

Investigators were working to determine whether the death was an accident, suicide, natural or a matter for homicide detectives, according to Brown. 

No other details were immediately released.
