SEELEY — The body of a man was found next to a tree at the Jaime Obeso Sunbeam rest area on Monday afternoon, July 22, according to the Imperial County Coroner’s Office.

The death is believed to be heat-related and there are no signs of foul play, “but we’ll know more at the autopsy,” said Sheriff Sergeant George Figueroa, deputy coroner.
