Homicide probe continues after York police identify a man, 35, found dead in his home
Police in the city of York are investigating as a homicide the death of a person found Sunday night in his home where the door was left open.
The victim was identified Tuesday as Thomas Hardin, 35, who lived in the house, said Sabrina Gast, York County Coroner.
A cause and manner of death were not released.
York Police Department Chief Andy Robinson said the death of the resident on Lowry Row is suspicious.
York detectives canvassed the neighborhood again Monday night, Robinson said.
“Our detectives are pursuing leads as to what happened,” Robinson said.
York officers were asked by a person to do a well-being check on the resident at the home Sunday night around 8:30 p.m. because the caller had not been able to reach the resident all day, Robinson said.
The responding officer could get no answer from the home and saw the front door was ajar, Robinson said.
The officer went inside and found the resident on the floor, Robinson said. The officer administered CPR until EMS arrived, Robinson said. The person was pronounced dead at the scene.
York police detectives and officers from the York County Multijurisdictional Forensics Unit responded.
Because the investigation by the police and coroner’s office is ongoing, Robinson declined to release more details.
Lowry Row is west of downtown York just east of the U.S. 321 Bypass, and runs between Liberty Street and Madison Street.
