SAN JOSE — A man’s body was found inside a recreational vehicle as the city was preparing to tow it away as part of a mass clearing of a Columbus Park encampment Monday morning, according to San Jose police.

As San Jose begins sweeping its largest homeless encampment in Columbus Park, people who have accepted offers of shelter will be safe from having their vehicles towed until space opens up.

While San Jose has begun to clear Columbus Park Monday, city officials said that only a little more than half of the 300 unhoused residents have accepted offers of shelter
