Hutchinson Police are investigating a suspicious death after a man was found at a home at 507 East 3rd in Hutchinson.
Police Sgt., Thad Pickard says they are not ruling it a homicide, at least not yet. Details are sketchy and police are still waiting to have the body moved to the Sedgwick County Forensic Science Center for an autopsy.
Police Sgt Tyson Meyers tells us a neighbor smelled a strong odor and couldn’t make contact with the individual. That person then called the landlord, but couldn’t get a hold of them, so they called police.
It’s clear that the victim had been there for sometime as the smell outside the home was extremely strong.
Police are investigating the case as suspicious, but say there are no initial signs of foul play. They say they won’t know the cause of death, until the autopsy is complete.
No name has been released with the investigation ongoing late Thursday afternoon.
