Police are investigating the discovery of a body in Summerlin on Thursday.

Details were scarce. A Metropolitan Police Department spokesperson said police were called at 5:10 a.m. and that the investigation was ongoing Thursday afternoon.

“We are conducting a dead body investigation near Fox Hill Drive and Seborga Avenue,”a public information officer said in an email.

The Clark County coroner’s office Friday identified the person as 36-year-old Avi Miserachi-Kibrit of Las Vegas. His official cause and manner of death were not available.

Fox Hill and Seborga are in Summerlin West and are northwest of West Charleston Boulevard and the 215 Beltway.

No further details were immediately available.
