Dead body found at Janoris Jenkins' New Jersey home

A body was found at New York Giants cornerback Janoris Jenkins' home in Fair Lawn, N.J., on Tuesday morning, TMZ Sports first reported.

Assistant Bergen County prosecutor Dennis Calo said the body has been identified as Roosevelt Rene, 25, a friend of the Jenkins family who'd "been residing (at 14 Van Saun Place) of late," according to The Hackensack Daily Voice.

"The investigation is continuing at this time and cause and manner of death will be determined by the Bergen County Medical Examiner's Office after a post-mortem exam," Calo said in a statement.

Police are investigating a possible strangulation/suffocation as the cause of death, as NFL Network's Mike Garafolo first reported, citing law enforcement sources.

The Giants defender was not at his home during the incident, and has been in Florida since New York's camp broke for summer, sources told SI's Jenny Vrentas.

A spokesperson for the Giants said the team was aware of the situation.
