JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said it found a man dead of an apparent gunshot wound during a well-being check in the Hyde Park neighborhood Tuesday morning.
When a family member of the victim called the sheriff's office and said they had not heard from the man in quite a while, officers when to the 2500 block of East Red Robin Drive at 10:15 a.m.
Police said when no one answered, officers forced entry and found the man. Investigators were still searching the home for evidence twelve hours later.
Officers said the home was not disturbed and the cause of death won't be clear until an autopsy is done tomorrow, but no weapon was found on the scene.
Police said it was unclear how long the man had been dead.
