Suspicious Death

MEADOW LAKE, N. M. (KRQE) - Investigators tonight are looking at a suspicious death in the Valencia County community of Meadow Lake.

A man in his mid-50s was found dead at a home in the 500 block of Meadow lake Road around 7 p.m.

Deputies said a neighbor found the body after noticing the victim's back door was open.

"We're treating it as a suspicious death until we get some more facts."
