Authorities say a previous resident had gone missing months ago, but police can’t confirm at this time if the person found dead is that missing resident.
The medical examiner will identify the person, possibly with DNA or dental records because of decomposition, police say.
The person’s cause of death has not been determined.
Police say the home has multiple units, and authorities are speaking with all the residents.
