After investigating, police arrested a 40-year-old man who also lives at that residence and knew the decedent. The man is being held at the Hennepin County Jail on possible murder charges. WCCO-TV typically does not identify those arrested until they are formally charged.

The deceased man has not been publicly identified, and a medical examiner will determine his exact cause of death.
