NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) _ New Haven police are investigating the death of a man whose body was found in an apartment.

Police say they responded Sunday morning to Spring Street after a man’s body was found in a first-floor apartment at the back of the building.

The victim was a 49-year-old New Haven man who did not live at the apartment.

Police say they received a 911 call Saturday night from a man claiming to have been the victim of a stabbing. He reportedly said he was at a house in the area of Washington Avenue and Spring Street, but didn’t provide a specific location.

Police say they sent officers to the area, but couldn’t find the victim.

Police also say they called the victim’s phone, but none of the calls were answered.
