Phoenix police said they were called to a northeast Phoenix home for a call of an unknown death and discovered a person dead and alone.Police said the prominent person has two young children who are away at camp, and until the kids are notified, the person's name won't be released.
No foul play is suspected, police said, but authorities are investigating the death since the person was alone. The cause of death will be determined by the medical examiner.
