Authorities say something that looks like lungs have been found on a sidewalk in south Los Angeles County.

Sheriff's Sgt. Robert Dean tells the Los Angeles Times ( http://lat.ms/LkBEdZ) that a citizen called Sunday evening to report organs on the sidewalk on Avalon Boulevard in an unincorporated area.

He says he doesn't know what they are but deputies turned them over to coroner's officials.

Coroner's spokesman Ed Winter says a doctor has not looked at what was found yet. He says an examination will be conducted Monday or Tuesday.
