Man's Death At Santa Clara's Central Park 'Suspicious': Police

SANTA CLARA, CA— Santa Clara police have deemed the death of a man found this morning in Central Park suspicious, a police captain said. Officers were called at 7:18 a.m. Friday to the pond area of the park to conduct a welfare check on a person there, police spokesman Capt. Wahid Kazem said.

When officers arrived they found a man in his 50s on the ground. Kazem said life-saving measures were performed but the man was pronounced dead at the park.

Officers found the man had been bleeding from his face. Kazem said initially officers did not think the death was suspicious but that has changed.

We are "comfortable calling it suspicious," Kazem said.
