Death in Public Investigation 

September 23, 2024 – Riverside County Sheriff’s Office officials report that on Saturday, September 21, 2024, at 9:53 a.m., deputies from the Southwest Sheriff’s Station were dispatched to the 30000 block of Auld Road in the unincorporated community of French Valley regarding an unresponsive male.  Upon arrival, deputies located the male and began lifesaving measures until paramedics arrived. Despite the efforts of law enforcement and paramedics, the male was pronounced deceased at the scene.

The male was identified as 46-year-old Lawrence Orso, a resident of Murrieta. The investigation revealed that at 8:26 a.m., approximately an hour and a half before he was discovered unresponsive in the parking lot, Orso had been released from the Cois Byrd Detention Center following an arrest for Driving Under the Influence. There was no evidence of foul play; however, the investigation is ongoing, and no further information is available at this time.

Anyone with additional information is encouraged to contact Investigator D. Robertson at (951) 955-1777 or by calling Riverside County Sheriff’s dispatch at 951-776-1099.
