The body of a 32-year-old man found March 17 on the South Palm Beach shore has been identified and an autopsy report shows that he died of natural causes — an asthma attack.
The body of Maximiliano Lujan-Rodriguez, 32, of Palm Springs, clad in a shirt, shorts, socks and shoes, was found near the Mayfair House Condominiums on the 3900 block of South Ocean Boulevard.
He was found face down in the sand, just beyond the water line, at 7 a.m.
A subsequent toxicology report found that he had no drugs or alcohol in his system at the time of his death. The “punctate abrasions” found on his body were determined to be caused by postmortem contact with the sand, the autopsy report says.
Lujan-Rodriguez, who had turned 32 just seven days prior to his death, had a history of bronchial asthma and often forgot his medicine at home, the autopsy report says.
