On 16 of May, 2018, at aprox. 4:20 pm , the owners of x called to report that one of their fumigation crews had returned to initiate aeration procedure at the above address, a rehabilitation residence/ adult boarding center, and discovered an unidentified male inside the secured structure deceased. According to the owners, there was evidence of tarp clamps and a warning sign at a " false seam" removed from the tarp and on the ground, in addition, the ground seal had been tampered with and tarps had been pulled away from under the seal. Since the "false seam" is not a union of two tarp sections, it is believed that the victim may have crawled under the tarp after he discovered this was blocked. As the crew began to open the seams on the tarps, the fumigator while wearing a Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus, entered the tarped entrance and accessed the door handle mounted lock box to retrieve the key to the front door. Upon unlocking the door and entering, the fumigator heard what he thought was a radio coming from the left side of the structure. Upon investigating the sound, the fumigator saw a television was on, and behind a curtain partition in one of the rooms, the body of the deceased was found laying on a bed. The fumigator exited the structure, alerted his crew to suspend all activities called 911 and contacted his business office/ owners of x . The Police and Fire Department/ responded, and after being informed about the fumigant and warning agent, the FD donned their PPE,, entered the structure, and asked the crew to remove the two tarps off the structure while the responders opened the remaining doors and windows, preparing to remove the body. There is evidence that a window that had been left partially opened for equilibrium, had the screen removed and was found completely opened. The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services was also notified and on May 17, their field inspector followed up with obtaining a statement taken from the owner of the compnay. x Sheriff's Office, Detective, x investigated and issued case number x, Medical Examiner case x. On May 24, I was contacted by the owner, to inform me that the Detective had located video survaillance evidence that placed the victim at a local convenience store during the time of the fumigation, and again later, between 6:15 to 7:10pm, after the fumigant had been introduced at aproximately 6:30pm, verifying that the victim was not inside structure at the time of introduction. There was also video discovered that captured the fumigation truck leaving the area at aproximately 7:07pm on May 15.
