The St. Clair County Sheriff Department is investigating the death of a person found near Howard and 32nd streets in Port Huron Township. 

St. Clair County Sheriff Capt. Matt Pohl said the death of the white male is under investigation but being considered suspicious. 

The sheriff department said Wednesday the man has been identified as a 34-year-old Port Huron Township resident and is seeking the public’s assistance regarding the suspicious death.

The investigation regarding the cause and manner of death is ongoing.

Anyone with any information regarding this incident is asked to contact Detective Kelsey Wade at (810) 987-1738.
