The new mayor of Juneau, Alaska, was found dead in his home Monday, officials said.
Police said they received a 911 call about 3:34 p.m. (7:34 p.m. ET) from Mayor Greg Fisk’s adult son. The 70-year-old —who was elected to the role last month — was declared dead at the scene.
Police wouldn’t comment on the cause of death and said they hadn’t yet determined whether Fisk’s death was considered suspicious.
In a statement, Juneau Police Department spokeswoman Erann Kalwara said investigators were “aware of rumors that an assault occurred in connection with Fisk’s death” but described them as “speculation.”
The results of an autopsy aren’t expected for several days, according to Kalwara.
