A bomb squad went to a Santa Ana home Thursday night after a man was found in a bedroom that may have been booby trapped with improvised explosive devices, police said.

Around 7:50 p.m., the man’s family members, who live in the house in the 2200 block of North Jetty Street, became concerned when when he failed to answer a knock on his bedroom door, Santa Ana police Cmdr. Matt Brown said.

The family members went inside the room and found the man dead from apparently detonating one of the explosive devices, although they did not hear an explosion, Brown said.

Several other explosive devices were also found in the room and Santa Ana police called the Orange County Sheriff’s Department Bomb Squad for help, said Brown.

The house and two adjoining residences were evacuated.

The bomb squad was still at the home as of 11 p.m. and the identity of the man -- who is in his 50s -- was not immediately released.
