Homicide Detectives Investigate Man's Mysterious Death



SEATTLE —

Homicide detectives are investigating the death of a man whose body was found Monday when officers were asked to do a welfare check because he had not reported to work for several days.

Police said the man’s body was found with obvious injuries near a sliding glass door inside a house on 18th Avenue South near Plum Street in Seattle’s Beacon Hill neighborhood.

Officers entered the home, found no one else inside, and then contained the scene for the homicide investigators.

Neighbors said they didn’t know what to think about the death.

"I'm just curious, I'm thinking maybe a suicide or a murder, that's my thoughts, but I really have no idea,” said neighbor Jessie Tear.

Police said the victim is a man in his 50s.

The King County Medical Examiner’s Office has not released the victim’s identity.
