SAN JOSE, Calif. - The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office is investigating what officials said was a "suspicious death."

Investigators said an unidentified man’s body was found at 9:30 a.m. Sunday in a parking structure at Valley Medical Center.

Investigators said someone notified CHP and the San Jose Police Department of an unresponsive man at the structure. The San Jose police ultimately turned the case over to sheriff’s deputies. Deputies pronounced the man dead at the scene.

Sheriff authorities said their detectives are investigating the "suspicious circumstances" of his death, but have not said if they believe violence was involved, or where exactly the victim was found; whether inside a vehicle or on the ground inside the structure.

The Santa Clara County Medical Examiner will determine the cause of death. The victim’s age and identity won’t be released until his family is notified.
