“The Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office tells TMZ Sports ... the dead body is a man, but he’s NOT the owner of the house. Officials will not release the identity until next of kin have been notified. ‘The investigation is ongoing, and additional information will be provided when it is available and appropriate for release.’” – TMZ Sports
The body was found by a “worker” and a coroner showed up shortly after police arrived. Jenkins’ has yet to comment on the situation although his camp and the Giants are aware of the situation.
There are additional reports that could prove pivotal as this story continues to unfold. Per Mike Garafalo, law enforcement sources say that strangulation or suffocation is being investigated as a possible cause of death. Additionally, a man claiming to be Jenkins’ brother tried flying to Florida.

Also last night in NJ, a man claiming to be Janoris Jenkins’ brother was on a Jet Blue flight to Fort Lauderdale from Newark to allegedly meet up with Janoris. The man caused delays because he was too scared to fly according to witnesses I spoke to. He got off the plane #giants
