Authorities are investigating an apparent homicide that occurred in Anaheim early Thursday morning. 

According to Anaheim Police Department, a man was discovered by passerby on Earl Street, just south of the 91 Freeway at around 7:20 a.m. 

Paramedics arrived to the scene and rushed the man to a nearby hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
