April 2, 2022 (Santee) -- A body was found in the parking lot of the Santee Walmart yesterday afternoon.  A spokesperson for the Sheriff's media communications told ECM that the death appears to be a suicide, though an investigation continues.

No other details were provided by law enforcement.

ECM reporter Rebecca Jefferis Williamson visited the site, where Sheriff's personnel were focused on a white vehicle and questioning witnesses, including a UPS driver. Deputies at the scene declined to respond to questions.

The location is the same Walmart where a brush fire erupted in a nearby canyon one night earlier.
