Police discovered the body of a man found inside an office complex at 8505 Church St. in Gilroy this afternoon, according to Gilroy Police Sgt. Pedro Espinoza.
Carl Alan Hirasawa, 56, had been missing since last Wednesday when he was discovered dead by police Tuesday afternoon, according to his coworker Roseann Solorio.
Hirasawa, a graveyard shift electrician for Caltrain, worked with Solorio for eight years. When he failed to show up for work on Wednesday, Solorio said she immediately started investigating.Â
Police at the scene – a strip mall full of businesses and office suites – refused to give any details about the incident. A fire truck and several police cars were tightly parked in the narrow, congested parking lot. A group of neighboring business owners stood by their cars, unable to enter the building.Â
Solorio said that Hirasawa had been homeless for “some time.”Â
Details will be posted as they become available.
