An investigation is underway after a grandfather was found dead, stabbed multiple times, in a Port Richmond home with blood on the first and second floors.
On Thursday, police confirmed the 80-year-old man, who was identified by family as Robert Girard, had been stabbed multiple times and called his death a homicide.
Girard's granddaughter found him naked on the kitchen floor inside his home on the 2500 block of East Lehigh Avenue around 9 p.m. Wednesday. Police say there were no signs of forced entry and the home was not ransacked, a large flat screen television untouched.
A white van was towed from the scene Wednesday night and neighbors had concerns about a person who had been living in the van.
Police were talking to the person, but said no arrests had been made.
