Las Vegas police are investigating after a man was found dead Tuesday night in the backyard of his east valley home.

The body was found just before 7 p.m. on the 300 block of Oakford Street, near Nellis Boulevard and Stewart Avenue, according to Metropolitan Police Lt. David Gordon.

The investigation is still in its early stages, Gordon said, but police do not suspect foul play.
