The discovery of a man’s body early this morning in a remote area outside of Morgan Hill is being treated by Santa Clara County sheriff’s detectives as a suspicious death, a sheriff’s spokesman said.
Deputies responded at about 1:40 a.m. to a report of a suspicious circumstance in the area of Sheila Avenue and Prom Drive, between the cities of Morgan Hill and Gilroy, sheriff’s Sgt. Rick Sung said.
Deputies arrived and found the body of the man, whose name has not yet been released. The body was found on a ridge and had at least one gunshot wound, Sung said.
Detectives secured the area for investigation and as of 3 p.m. they were still in the area collecting evidence, Sung said.
