BROCKTON – No foul play is suspected after a man was found dead on Brockton veterans hospital property on Sunday morning, authorities said.
The man was not a patient of the veterans hospital, and his identity was not released Sunday pending notification of his family, Assistant District Attorney Bridget Norton Middleton said Sunday night.
“It does not appear to be suspicious,” Middleton said of his death.
A VA Boston Healthcare System employee discovered the body about 9:10 a.m. Sunday outdoors on the VA property, in the area of Lot 14, said Middleton.
VA spokeswoman Pallas Wahl said the body was found on VA property in “an outside shelter,” or a covered area, similar to a bus stop, that protects people from the weather.
Brockton police responded to the scene but said that VA police were handling the investigation because it is on federal property.
A VA statement released Sunday said, “A collaborative investigation with state and local agencies is currently underway.”
