If you know where the person lived and died you can find the information by contacting the probate or family court in that county.  They would have all this information on file there.  If you don't know what city, but you knew what state, there might be a general registy in that state.  Call a probate office and they would be able to tell you more information, then.

http://www.zabasearch.com/ is very thorough. I think it even picks up unlisted stuff, but not sure. Still ... it finds a lot.

Do you have any information such as town/county of death and date of death?

If he was American, you can search the Social Security Death Index (link below).  Type in what you know of his name and social security number.  A list will show up of everyone with a U.S. Social Security Number matching that name that has died.  If you know his date of birth, you can scan the list to find him and it will show you the zip code, city, and county of his last residence.  That could be a good start.

As morbid as this seems, many grave yards and towns have listings of everyone online and where their plots are.  Most of the time you have to have a membership to a place like ancestry.com.  If you know where he's buried or the funeral home where he was, they have records and can tell you where he was sent for burial.  I found my husband's grandfather by looking up his obituary, calling the funeral home and asking where they sent him.  They were happy to tell me.

First, the county assessor's office has records of who owned the place before, all the way back to the original title, hopefully.  (Sometimes old records have been lost, but if not, they keep them forever.)  Then go to the local newspaper and ask to see their archives.  There may well be a computerized index.  If so, search on the names of the people who lived there.  Even if someone died who did not live there, the owners of the property at the time would probably be mentioned in a newspaper article about the death.\n\nAnother method would be to check the county records office for death certificates, and note the address at which the death took place.  Again, this would be easy if these records have been computerized.  Otherwise, it may be quite a chore.  The clerks are usually willing to help when the research project is an interesting one, as this one would seem to be.\n\nIt may be a good bit of nuisance to do this research, but once you have done it, you can then offer your services to search for other people, as you will have established where the information is stored.  At the very least, you can then write an article for a local paper detailing the search.  \n\nIt will be easy if all the relevant records are properly indexed in computer data bases, but not all counties in the US are that up-to-date on their records.

If you know when and where he died, you should be able to get a copy of his obituary from the paper in that town.\n\n\nYou can also get a copy of his death certificate in the county he died in.

Write to Los Angeles and get a death certificate for him, which may tell where he is buried.  Get in touch with your local library family history department.  They can tell you how to get a death certificate, or perhaps how to contact a Los Angeles library for help. Good luck.
