The Troy Police Department is investigating the death of a man found Monday  at a residence in the 100 block of Daisy Court.

Police Chief Randall Barr said the 65-year-old black male was found by Troy Housing Authority personnel, who reported it to the police.

Barr said the man has been identified and the department is working to notify next of kin before releasing his identity publicly.

Barr said that the police department is not sure what caused the man’s death.

“Right now, we don’t know what happened,” Barr said. “We were called over to find the body of a deceased male found inside the residence. We’re treating it as a crime scene because we don’t know the cause of death.”

Officers  raked through the home and collected anything that might provide clues as to the man’s death, Barr said. The body has been sent to the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences.

The Troy Police Department is being assisted in this investigation by the Pike County District Attorney’s Office, the Pike County Coroner’s Office and the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences.

This is an ongoing investigation and updates will be provided as information becomes available.
