Caldwell Crossings death 2-18-19
Hoover police block off a portion of the 3100 block of Crossings Drive in the Caldwell Crossings community with crime scene tape as they investigate a death at a home there on Monday, Feb. 18, 2019.
Hoover police are investigating a suspicious death reported at a home in the Caldwell Crossings community Monday afternoon.
The Hoover Fire Department was first called to the scene in the 3100 block of Crossings Drive at 12:26 p.m., responding to a report of an unresponsive person, spokesman Scott West said. When paramedics arrived, they determined the man was dead at 12:35 p.m., and the scene was turned over to the Hoover Police Department.
The victim was discovered by two friends who stopped by his residence, Hoover police Lt. Keith Czeskleba said in a news release late Monday night.
“There were no signs of forced entry; however, evidence at the scene suggests foul play may be involved,” Czeskleba said. “The victim’s body will be sent to the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences in Montgomery for an autopsy to determine cause and manner of death.”
Police said more information will be released once it is available.
Police are asking anyone with information concerning the case to contact Detective Brad Fountain at 205-444-7562. Anyone who wants to remain anonymous and qualify for a cash reward can call Crime Stoppers of Metro Alabama at 205-254-7777.
