(Pittsburgh, PA) Crews from HAZMAT were called to a home in the Perry North part of Pittsburgh, yesterday afternoon after a dead body was found in the home. A house on the 3800 block of Perrysville Avenue was where this incident occurred. It was around 1:30 p.m yesterday when this incident happened. According to Pittsburgh police, the incident began as a welfare check for someone struggling with mental health issues. First responders discovered a man in his 40s that was unresponsive. That man was pronounced dead by medics at the scene. HAZMAT crews showed up because of a chemical mixture that crews appeared to see which was noxious in the building. The roadway of the house where this incident occurred was closed temporarily during the investigation of this incident. Evacuation of some other residents of other apartments nearby also happened as a precaution while the chemicals that were found were tested by HAZMAT crews. The cause of death is unknown at this time for the unidentified man that died from this incident and the Allegheny County Medical Examiner will release that information.
