LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles police say actor Peter Fonda discovered a dead body in a car and they are investigating the death.
Sgt. Carlton Cook at the West Los Angeles Community Police Station says the “Easy Rider” actor called 911 on Wednesday after he spotted a car parked on the side of Sunset Boulevard. Cook says the 70-year-old Fonda is absolutely not a suspect but did not have any more details.
The call was first reported by TMZ, which says Fonda got out of his car and found the man slumped over in the front seat.
Fonda is best known for his role in the 1969 film “Easy Rider” as sex-and-drugs loving biker Captain America. Other film credits include “Race With the Devil,” ”Dirty Mary Crazy Larry,“ and ”3:10 to Yuma.”

Posted on January 13, 2011 at 12:40pmMake a point and look for a Kennedy, Peter Fonda discovered a dead body in a car and they are investigating the death and looking for Kennedy’s all around town. There is nothing romantic about a dead body or a Kennedy around one.

Posted on January 13, 2011 at 7:51amWow, some calloused people here. A person is dead and it seems that is nothing compared to the opporutinity to crack some political joke. Think if were a member of YOUR family and you ran across a message baord with comments like these. While it is understandable the frustration that is felt with all the misreporting and acuastions by the mainstream press, 2 wrongs do not make a right. Lets try to have compassion and be less like the Huff Po.

Posted on January 13, 2011 at 7:56amPeople need to vent, and humor is a way at times. The difference, though, is that on the Left they’ll be wishing the deceased was Palin, or Beck, or Rush.
I get your point but this is lightweight stuff here. At Kos, as I expect you know, you’d be banned for your post.

I‘m thinking that wasn’t a body Peter Fonda found… it was his sister’s personality.

Posted on January 13, 2011 at 6:46amYou’ve got to admire him for at least stopping and checking the guy out. At least he is a concerned citizen, this could have been some person having medical issues at the time and Fonda could have saved their life just by stopping to help. He did a lot more than most people would do in this twisted society. Especially in crazy L.A.
