The coroner's office identified the man as Carlos Rodas of Lancaster, who had last been seen about 8 a.m. Sunday at his home on 15th Street West and was the subject of sheriff's department missing persons case. 

His body was found around 11 a.m. in the 200 block of East Avenue H, according to the sheriff's department. 

There appears to be no evidence of foul play. The manner and cause of death will be determined by the LA County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner at a later date.
