The Jackson Police Department said in a Facebook post that it is working a death investigation in the 3600 block of Skyline Drive and that the inquiry is active.
The department provided no further details in the post. Officials did not release information about the identity of the person involved, a possible cause of death or whether any arrests have been made.
Death investigations typically involve detectives, crime-scene technicians and the coroner or medical examiner as authorities work to determine the cause and manner of death. Such inquiries can require hours or days of on-scene work, evidence collection and interviews.
Residents and motorists in the area may encounter an increased police presence while investigators work. Investigators often seek information from the public; anyone with relevant details should contact the Jackson Police Department. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
