Mysterious 911 Calls Lead to Discovery of Body in Michigan Home

A Michigan man was found dead Friday inside his home after multiple mysterious 911 calls were placed, Fox 2 reports.

Authorities say a woman twice called 911 asking that police complete a welfare check on a man at a residence in Inkster, a Detroit suburb.

“The 911 calls came in as check the well-being of the subject that lives in the home,” Inkster Police Chief Tamika Jenkins told Fox 2. “Two of the times the officers went there, they didn’t get an answer at the door, so they cleared the location.”

Then a third 911 call came in and the woman on the other line said they had found someone inside the home. Officers responded again. When they arrived, a woman was seen walking out with her hands up and she was handcuffed and placed inside a police car, according to WDIV-TV.

Police then entered the residence and found the owner of the home dead from an apparent gunshot wound.

Animal control removed a dog from the property and the Michigan State Police is overseeing the investigation, with Inkster police assisting.

“They are processing the house, processing the scene, seeing if they can find or collect any evidence,” Jenkins told Fox 2.

Neighbors told WDIV-TV that the victim, whose age was not clear, lived in the residence with a younger woman and another man.

Residents who spoke with WDIV-TV said they did not hear gunshots on Friday evening, but they did on Thursday night.

Police have not made any arrests in connection with the death.
