Police said they are treating the death of a man found behind a dumpster Tuesday morning in the 3100 block of Calvary Drive as a probable suicide.

Officers found the man, whose identity was not released, about 5:15 a.m., police said in a statement.

The statement said the man had “facial trauma,” but it did not say if he had been shot in the face.

The 3100 block of Calvary Drive is between Green Road and Limerick Drive.
