A 19-year-old Jersey City man was found dead in his Manhattan Avenue apartment this morning on the scene with a gunshot wound to his head, authorities said.
Jersey City police said the man's sister and her boyfriend found the man on a bed on the second floor of the residence with a gun near him some time after 1 a.m., Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio said. Authorities did not release the man's name.
The death is currently listed as suspicious, but "I don't think it's a homicide," DeFazio said. He noted that an autopsy would be performed later today.
