Richland police are investigating a body found in a Queensgate mobile home

Richland police are investigating the death of a 56-year-old in a Queensgate area mobile home.

Officers were asked to check on someone living on the 200 block of Crestwood Drive, said the police department’s Facebook page.

They found the person dead inside the home.

Neighbors told the Herald that a woman lives there with two dogs.

They said investigators have been there since early Thursday morning. The home remained blocked off with crime-scene tape and orange cones while investigators came in and out.

Other areas nearby were also marked off with crime-scene tape.

The home is a couple blocks north of the Fujiyama Japanese restaurant in the Queensgate area of south Richland.

The Benton County Coroner’s Office was notified of the death and Washington State Patrol crime scene investigators were called to the area to help collect evidence.

Sgt. Drew Florence said they had no additional information to release.
