The Collier County Sheriff's Office is conducting a death investigation at a home on 5th Street South near Main Street in Immokalee. Deputies responded to the home around 6:15 a.m. Wednesday, and investigators were on scene until just before 6 p.m.
Investigators did not release many details, but focused their attention near the backyard porch of the home. Deputies shielded the body from bystanders with a tarp while investigators worked the scene.
One man watching the scene told Fox 4 that he was friends with the man who died.
"He was my best friend, and I can't do nothing about it," said the man, who gave his name as J.D. "It hurts my feelings I don't know what happened to him."
The victim's name and cause of death were not immediately available. Fox 4 will provide more updates as they become available.
