Police say foul play is not suspected.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — A body was discovered at a storage facility in Alexandria, Virginia on Sunday. Police were called to the Mini U Storage facility in the 500 block Pickett Street for a death investigation.

Once Alexandria Police Department officers arrived, they found a person dead there. The circumstances surrounding the person's death are still under investigation. Marcel Bassett, a public information officer for the Alexandria Police Department, said the investigation is still in its preliminary stages, but foul play is not suspected.

Investigators are awaiting a report from the chief medical officer to determine cause of death.
