ORIGINAL STORY:

The Charlotte County Sheriff's Office is investigating a death in rural Punta Gorda.

Deputies are on Nasturtium Drive and Orange Blossom Boulevard. Fox 4 Photojournalist Andy Cunningham is on the scene and can see forensic deputies along with the sheriff's office command unit.

Fox 4 asked the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office for more details. The only thing they would tell us is that there's a death investigation. They would not confirm when this happened, if there's a suspect in custody, is the death suspicious or if there's a threat to the public.
