Pine Bluff police discovered a dead body at 2105 S. Oak St. just after 6:30 a.m. Thursday, according to a news release.
Officers found an unresponsive older male lying just off the roadway in front of the residence.
The man, identified as Kenny Christopher, 63, was pronounced dead at the scene and died some time before he was discovered, police say.

If ruled a homicide, it would be the fourth that has occurred in Pine Bluff this year and third this month, according to data by The Commercial.
