Yellow caution tape surrounded the neighborhood’s perimeter while deputies worked the scene into the early afternoon. WINK News spoke with a witness on the scene who claimed that he and his wife had been there since 3 p.m. on Tuesday, and it had already been a considerable scene. While not confirmed by deputies, the description given by witnesses claimed that the person involved in the death investigation was a tall man with two dogs. Lee County Domestic Animal Services was also on the scene with deputies. A follow-up post on X from the Lee County Sheriff’s Office stated that deputies responded to the residence to conduct a well-being check on an 85-year-old man. We can confirm deputies responded to the residence to conduct a well being check on a 91 yo male. Upon contact, the subject was located with injuries, and transported to an area hospital where he was pronounced deceased. The investigation remains active. — Carmine Marceno – Florida’s Law and Order Sheriff (@SheriffLeeFL) September 4, 2024 An update on Thursday from LCSO mentioned that due to a math mistake, the correct age of the man is 85, not 91. According to deputies, the unidentified male was found with injuries and transported to an area hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. The scene remained active in the afternoon, but deputies have condensed the investigation area to the house, so residents can now come and go as they need. Neighbors WINK News spoke with off camera said an elderly man in this home had been having some health issues and was staying there with a family member who was helping take care of him.
