Detectives are investigating the death of a 51-year-old man whose body was found in a Brooklyn apartment with an apparent head injury, police said Friday.
A social worker linked to the victim reached out to police early Thursday after not hearing from him for some time and asked officers to visit the apartment on Pennsylvania Ave. near Fulton St. in East New York.
Cops arrived at about 11 a.m. and found the man dead. His name was not immediately disclosed.
The victim had apparently suffered some head trauma at the time of his death, but it was not immediately clear if that is what killed him, cops said.
The city’s Medical Examiner has been tasked with performing an autopsy to determine how the man died.
