A Broward State Attorney’s Office employee was found dead in the Broward County Courthouse late Wednesday, officials said. No foul play is suspected.

The man was identified Thursday morning as Daniel Miranda, 55, a longtime member of the Digital Evidence Unit of the Broward State Attorney’s Office.

“We are in shock and we are grieving. Danny will be missed in our office, in our community, and our justice system,” said State Attorney Harold Pryor in a letter to staff members Thursday morning. “We offer our sincerest condolences to Danny’s wife and family and we are praying for them during this very sad time.”

The Broward Sheriff’s Office does not suspect foul play at this time, Pryor said in his letter.
