Death investigation underway at home in Wheatfield, Indiana

CHICAGO (CBS) — A death investigation is underway at a home in the town of Wheatfield, Indiana. 

The Jasper County Coroner confirmed they were called to a home in the 4200 block of Old Orchard Lane on Monday, but did not provide further details. 

Police tape was wrapped around the backyard of the home, located about an hour and a half southeast of Chicago. Neighbors reported seeing officers from Wheatfield Police, Indiana State Police and Jasper County Sheriff's Office. 

Neighbors told CBS News Chicago this is a rental property. 

"I just saw a bunch of shovels; I saw a sifting tool. They were putting the dirt into it and picking things out of it," A neighbor said. "I couldn't see what they were actually putting into evidence bags. It's a nightmare. I've had a ton of anxiety about it." 

This is a developing story.
