Police investigate suspicious death after body found in SW OKC

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — A body was found lying next to a train track in SW OKC, and it has Oklahoma City Police looking for answers after they got the call early Monday morning.

Police said someone in the area called them.

"Around 2:45 this morning, police received a check the welfare call," said MSGT. Gary Knight, with the Oklahoma City Police.

A man's body was lying face down by the train tracks near McKinley Ave. and SW 22nd St.

Investigators were at the scene and gathered around the body, looking for evidence. Right now, they're investigating it as a suspicious death.

"They're still processing the scene and to determine what killed the man. Obviously, very suspicious circumstances so we have our homicide unit on the scene," said MSGT. Knight.

Other than a puppy found tied to a bike near the man, the death has a lot of questions to answer, like how he died and who may be responsible?

"Right now there's no other information to go on, we hope to have more as the day goes on," said MSGT. Knight.

Oklahoma City Police said they hope to have another update in the next few days once the medical examiner can get more information on the man who was found.
