Police in Gothenburg have opened an investigation after a person was found dead inside a home, according to Aftonbladet.
The Swedish newspaper reports that officers are treating the case as suspected murder or, alternatively, manslaughter. Police spokesperson Adam Samara told Aftonbladet that officers located the deceased person in a residence and that they are now working in the surrounding area.
Samara said police are carrying out a series of investigative measures at the scene, according to the newspaper's account.
Aftonbladet reports that the inquiry remains at an early stage, and the outlet did not provide further details about the circumstances of the death or the identity of the person found.
The distinction between murder and manslaughter in Swedish law turns on factors such as intent and the circumstances of the act, and prosecutors can adjust the preliminary classification as an investigation develops. Police have not publicly named any suspect in connection with the case.
No information about arrests, the age or gender of the deceased, or a possible motive has been released in the reporting summarized by Aftonbladet.
Further updates are expected as police complete their work at the scene and the investigation moves forward.
