Police said the case began during the early morning hours Tuesday. Yellow police tape remained around the home near the corner of Brewster Road as authorities continued gathering evidence.

Officials have not released the person’s identity or age. The cause and manner of death are pending examination by the Westchester County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Neighbors told News 12 they were surprised to see such a large police response in what they described as a typically quiet neighborhood.
