The Platte County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a possible homicide in a home northeast of Platte City Tuesday afternoon.

A spokesman says deputies responded to two disturbance calls within about an hour in the 18000 block of Interurban Road.

Investigators say a 56-year-old man is dead, and they’re speaking with a 59-year-old relative who is considered a person of interest.

According to the sheriff’s office, the names of the victim and the person of interest are not being released to allow for family notifications.
