Deputies have been investigating a suspicious death in a home near Valley View Casino in Valley Center since around 8:30 a.m. Tuesday.
The San Diego County Sheriff's Department said deputies were called to a home on Lake Wohlford Road that morning by a mother who requested a welfare check on her son after she hadn't heard from him in several days.
Deputies went to the home and found a man in distress with injuries to his upper body. The man was pronounced dead at around 9:15 a.m.
Detectives found "explosives and unknown chemicals" in their search but told NBC 7 the items do not pose a danger to the public.
Homicide detectives arrived about an hour-and-a-half later.
“There was indications that this was a suspicious death,” said Lt. Chad Boudreau with SDSO’s Homicide Unit.
