Police are investigating to determine the cause of death of a man found unresponsive early Thursday morning in southwest Rochester.
Lt. Jeffery Pursel of the Rochester Police Department said that emergency responders were called a residence on Dr. Samuel McCree Way, near Epworth Street, around 3:30 a.m. and found a 55-year-old Rochester man who was unresponsive. The man, whose name was not released, was found in his bed and was pronounced dead, Pursel said.
Rochester Police Capt. Greg Bello called the incident an “unattended death” and said that there “does not appear to be any criminality involved.”
While at the scene, Pursel said that another person had a medical emergency and was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. No further information was released and officers said it was not clear whether the man’s death was related the second person’s medical emergency.
The Monroe County Medical Examiner’s Office is investigating to determine the cause of death.
