NORTH BROOKSVILLE, Fla. — The circumstances surrounding a man found dead Monday morning on a parcel of land in Hernando County are suspicious, the sheriff's office said.

At about 11 a.m., deputies were called out to a location in North Brooksville far off from Broad Street, where a caller reported seeing a possible body, according to a Hernando County Sheriff's Office news release.

Deputies found the body of an adult man when they arrived.

On Tuesday, investigators say they are working with the county's medical examiner's office to learn the cause and manner of death. The sheriff's office is not releasing the man's name, citing protections under the state's Marcy's Law.

It adds interviews in the case are ongoing and search warrants are being carried out.
