The California Highway Patrol reported Saturday at 7:02am, Contra Costa CHP was advised of a possible body lying just off the roadway at SR-4 westbound, just west of Bixler Road.

The deceased male is still unidentified at this time. The Contra Costa County Sheriff Coroners Office will take possession of the body and be the agency releasing his identification.

Updated — PUBLIC HELP NEEDED IN FATAL HIT & RUN
CHP needs your HELP in locating the suspect vehicle related to the FATAL Hit-&-Run from our previous press release below (from this morning) that occurred sometime last night on SR-4 around Bixler Road in East County. CHP is looking for a Toyota Tundra or Toyota Sequoia, most likely in the 2002-2006 range.
It could also possibly be a Lexus as well, because the maker of Toyota and Lexus are synonymous. The Hit-&-Run Vehicle should have collision damage to the front right headlight (or the headlight could be completely missing) and the damage would be consistent with hitting a large object.
If anyone has information regarding this incident, please call Contra Costa CHP in Martinez at 925-646-4980 or 1-800-TELL-CHP.

If it was a collision, wouldn’t he have a vehicle nearby? Did someone dump the body?
He was a pedestrian.
Or he was walking down the road and some asshole who was probably drunk hit the man walking on the side of the road. Sad because if the person who hit him took responsibility for their actions, this man possibly could have been saved. I am surprised that that intersection does not have cameras by now considering all the accidents in the last couple of years.
