Houston police are investigating the death of a 36-year-old man whose body was found in an apparent state of decomposition in a Houston apartment complex early Thursday morning. The grim discovery, made at approximately 4:40 a.m. at 10070 Westpark Drive, has led to an ongoing probe with detectives awaiting an autopsy to determine the cause of death.
The identity of the deceased remains undisclosed, pending verification by the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences, according to officials. The HPD Homicide Division, led by Sergeants M. Brady and M. Casso, arrived on the scene after patrol officers responded to a welfare check call. They found the man deceased inside an apartment, his body hinting at the passage of time since death’s silent claim.
Details surrounding the man's demise are scarce as the investigation carries on. The autopsy, yet to be completed, is expected to shed light on both the manner and cause of death. In an effort to untangle the circumstances that culminated in this fatality, authorities are urging the public to come forward with any relevant information.
Anyone with knowledge pertaining to this case is encouraged to reach out to the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600. The call for information was first made in a statement released by the Houston Police Department.
