Pasadena Police Confirm Apparent Suicide Incident

Quiet Pasadena neighborhood capturing residential essence

Pasadena, January 7, 2026

A 30-year-old man was found dead in an apparent suicide in Pasadena. Authorities responded to a call reporting that the man had hanged himself. Fire department officials pronounced him deceased shortly after their arrival. The incident is being investigated but no foul play is suspected. The local coroner’s office has taken custody of the body. Mental health resources are available for those in need.

The search results confirm the key details and provide additional context, such as the full name of the Lieutenant, the time officers were called, the address block, the method of suicide, and confirmation of no foul play. I can incorporate these details for a more comprehensive article.

Specifically, from search result:
* Full name: Pasadena Police Lieutenant Monica Cuellar.
* Officers were called at 5:54 p.m. to a house in the 900 block of South Orange Grove Boulevard.
* Caller reported finding a male relative who had hanged himself.
* Pasadena Fire Department pronounced him deceased at 6:05 p.m.
* Los Angeles County coroner’s office was notified and took custody.
* No signs of foul play.
* Published on Tuesday, January 6, 2026 | 6:36 am. This confirms the “last 48 hours” timeline for an event on Monday evening, January 5, 2026.

I should update the article to reflect the new, more detailed information from the search. I need to be careful with citations, ensuring they refer to the specific snippets providing the information.
