Deputies say they received a third party call just after 6 p.m. Tuesday from the Fallon Police Department.
Deputies were told there was a body at a home on Mia Drive in Spanish Springs. The caller indicated there might be weapons at the home as well, so deputies made sure to be well-prepared.
"We erred on the side of caution, formed a team and we began to search the residence," says Deputy Armando Avina with the Washoe County Sheriff's Office.
Within minutes, deputies did find the body of a man in the backyard of the home. Deputies do not know yet how the man died. They did not find any weapons.
