The Oak Ridge Police Department on Sunday morning investigated a death behind a fitness center in central Oak Ridge.

Police received a call to perform a welfare check at about 9:11 a.m. Sunday behind the National Fitness Center, near Home Depot. They found a dead adult. The name of the person has not been released, pending family notification.

Investigators hadn’t determined Sunday morning whether the death was a homicide or suicide.

The Oak Ridge Police Department Criminal Investigations Division and Knox County medical examiner both responded to investigate.

Police also investigated a second related possible crime scene, a vehicle in the Home Depot parking lot.

More information will be added as it becomes available.
