NORTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. (WPRI) - Police are investigating after a deceased man is discovered inside his North Kingstown home.

Officials say a family member went to check on the man Friday afternoon, after not hearing from him for a few days.

The victim, identified by family members as 65 year-old, Frank Penardo Sr., was found dead inside his home at 8225 Post Road.

The family tells Eyewitness News that Penardo's wife found him dead. He leaves behind a son, sister, three grandkids and a wife.

Fire crews also found remnants of a fire, that happened inside the home, a few days ago. There is no word on if the fire is connected to Penardo's death or not.

It's unclear if the death is suspicious.
