A somber discovery was made near the Dunedin Causeway Bridge as an adult man was found dead, floating in the waters, prompting an investigation by the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, local news outlets reported.
Deputies arrived at the scene around 12:19 p.m. yesterday after the body was spotted; at this early stage of the investigation, officials have not deemed the death suspicious, as noted in coverage by WTSP and echoed by WFLA, who informed of the non-suspicious nature of the incident but nevertheless authorities have remained tight-lipped as the investigation continues its course.
In a separate but perhaps tangentially related incident, a man was found deceased at a Pinellas County residence, as reported by FOX 13 News; deputies are investigating the matter and have not indicated a connection between the two deaths, but the proximity of the cases in time and space leaves open the question of whether there could be a link, although so far they maintain that there is no threat to the public stemming from either occurrence.
The sheriff's office has not released the identity of the deceased man found near the Dunedin Causeway or the man found at the home, as investigations are active and continuing details about both cases are scarce.
