A body was found inside a Minneapolis apartment and police say foul play could be involved.

Officers were responding to a welfare call at an apartment at 15 E. Grant Street just before 8 p.m. Monday when they found the body, said police spokesman John Elder.

Police have not said if the victim is a man or a woman.

It was not immediately known what led to the death, but evidence found at the scene led investigators to believe that foul play is a possibility, Elder said.

Minneapolis police has launched a suspicious death investigation and have interviewed several people.

The Hennepin County Medical Examiner will release the victim's name and cause of death in the coming days.
