He went to the steps of their house to pick up packages that had been there for days. A dog was said to be inside at the time.
Several neighbors said Crowley may have been veteran and had tattoos on his arm. The family are believed to have lived in the house for around a year-and-a-half.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and the Dakota County Sheriff’s Office are assisting the Apple Valley Police Department with the investigation.
They confirmed they are treating the death as ‘suspicious’.
