The former manager of Chevy Chase Village was found slain in his Bethesda, Maryland, home Thursday, police said.
The victim was identified as 66-year-old Geoffrey Biddle.
Montgomery County Police said they responded to the residence in the 4600 block of Windsor Lane around 11:30 a.m. for a welfare check, after Biddle’s coworkers said he hadn’t shown up to work.
Police said they found him dead and “an autopsy determined that Biddle had been shot.”
