A homicide investigation was underway Wednesday after a man reported finding his brother dead after checking on him at his Venice home, police said.

The man went to his brother’s home in the 1500 block of Venice Boulevard about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday to check on him and found him dead inside his apparently ransacked home, said Officer Christopher No, a spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department. The victim was a white male in his 40s, No said.

The investigation was ongoing and no further information was immediately available, No said.

An autopsy report had not yet been completed, said an investigator with the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Department on Wednesday night.
