His body was released that P.M. and the police/authorities were afraid that the people would try to get in the way of the coroner's van to get close to the body.
They landed the chopper on the roof of the building and took the body up to the top floor, then flew it to the coroner's office.
That really irked me, not for the cost - They had his body wrapped in a white sheet, strapped in a litter - It was very cold and impersonal.
The local stations followed the chopper and made it into a 'breaking news story'.

The LASD chopper is the same one they have flown for years, mostly to p/u hikers and guys that crash in the canyons.![]()
