The Lafayette Police Department is investigating a suspicious death at an apartment complex.

Officers were called at about 1:30 p.m. Thursday to an apartment complex in the 800 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. They found a woman dead inside an apartment and the coroner's office was called, police spokesperson Sr. Cpl. Matthew Benoit said in a release.

Benoit did not provide details about why it was a suspicious death.

The investigation is ongoing, Benoit said.

“The coroner’s office is not investigating the death as a homicide at this time.” Keith Talamo, chief investigator with Lafayette Coroner's Office said.
