Dominic Adams The Allen County Coroner's office said Saturday that the death of a man found at an apartment complex in southeast Fort Wayne Friday afternoon will be ruled a homicide. Investigators are still trying to determine what caused the man's death, authorities said in a statement Saturday. A Burmese man was found dead inside an apartment in the 1200 block of Fayette Drive at the Brendonwood Park Apartments. Police responded to the report of a death about 4:15 p.m. Friday. The death is the city's seventh homicide this year, according to a statement from the coroner's office. An autopsy Saturday showed the man suffered obvious trauma, but the cause of death is pending, the statement said. Officials said they were not releasing the man's identity, pending positive identification. Fort Wayne police said they were questioning two people identified as "persons of interest" Friday. Police said a language barrier was challenging the investigation. The apartment complex includes many residents who are Burmese and Laotian-speaking residents.
