SOMERS, Wis. (AP) — Authorities are investigating a suspicious death in southeastern Wisconsin.

Kenosha County deputies and detectives were called around 8 p.m. Saturday to a home in the Village of Somers. Sheriff’s Sgt. David Zoerner said the investigation involves the death of a man.

Authorities have not released the man’s name and say the investigation is ongoing. A friend of the man tells the Kenosha News she found him dead in his room.

Lei Lani Akina said when she went to his room, he was in his bed and there was “blood splattered everywhere.” She asked neighbors to call 911.

Akina said the man, who was in his 70s, was “a good guy” who “helped everybody.” She said the last time she spoke with him was a few days ago when he came over to drop off cucumbers and tomatoes. She texted him afterward to thank him, but he never got back to her.
