Investigation underway in suspicious death of 55-year-old Arlington man
ARLINGTON — The Arlington Police Department is investigating the suspicious death of a 55-year-old man, following a grim discovery at an apartment complex Sunday.
Just before noon on Sunday, Arlington police were called to an apartment complex in the 800 block of N. Center St. The caller reported she noticed her neighbor's window was broken. She went to investigate and found her neighbor lying motionless on the floor, covered in blood.
Arlington police said the man had "extensive trauma all over his body" and was pronounced dead on the scene. They said it's currently unclear how long he had been dead before authorities were called.
