Antioch Police announced the discovery of a man found dead on the sidewalk earlier this week in what the police report identified as a "Suspicious Death." The unidentified male was found in the 2200 block of Country Hills Drive just past 7 AM after authorities were called to the location for what was thought to be a medical emergency. But it was too late for responders as the man was pronounced dead at the scene, and cops are now scratching their heads over what killed him.
Details are scant, as the Antioch Police Department is tight-lipped about the ongoing investigation. According to a press release from the department, the Investigations Bureau is working on the case, and a post-mortem is on the books to nail down the cause of death. The silence from officials is palpable, and they've released nothing more about the story.
To paint a clearer picture, Antioch's finest are turning to the public for clues. Detective John Cox is the point man on the case, urging anyone with dashcam footage from the area between last night and this morning to step forward. It's all hands on deck as cops try to piece together the mystery of the man's demise.
Contact is a breeze for those in the know. You can reach Detective Cox at (925)481-8147 or send an email to [email protected]. And for the anonymous tipsters out there, you've got a hotline straight to the department. Just text your info to 274637 with "ANTIOCH" as a keyword.
