BROCKTON, MA — Authorities have launched a death investigation after a 28-year-old man was discovered deceased in a parking lot in Brockton on Sunday.

The investigation is currently being spearheaded by detectives assigned to the Massachusetts State Police and the Brockton Police Department. Throughout Sunday afternoon, investigators were seen cordoning off the area, collecting evidence, and canvassing the neighborhood for potential witnesses or surveillance footage that might shed light on the incident.
