The Barry County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the suicide of an elderly man in the sheriff’s office parking lot Tuesday morning at 9:50 a.m.

The unidentified man, thought to be in his late 80’s, has no connection with the sheriff’s office that deputies have been able to find  and there were no threats of any kind before the suicide, Undersheriff Matt Houchlei said.

Updates are anticipated as investigators learn more about the man and possibly the reason for taking his life at the sheriff’s office.
