TMZ- A dead body was found at the New Jersey home of NY Giants star Janoris Jenkins on Tuesday and now the Major Crimes Unit is investigating … TMZ Sports has learned.

First off, we’re told Janoris was out of the state when the body was discovered early Tuesday morning — but sources connected to the NFL player tell us his camp is aware of the situation. We don’t know if cops have identified a suspect or even have a working theory on how the person died.

Sources tell us the body was discovered in the basement by a worker at the house. Law enforcement officers in Bergen County raced to the scene. We’re told the coroner showed up a short time later. The identity of the victim is unclear — we know investigators are actively working the case. One source connected to Jenkins says the NFL player has been in Florida and was not at the home when cops arrived.

Not exactly great news coming out of the state of New Jersey. Now early word is that Jackrabbit was not in New Jersey when this all went down. So I guess that’s good for him? But a dead body being found in your house is no bueno regardless of where you are and anybody that has watched The Wire knows when the Major Crimes Unit is involved, some serious shite could be going down. I’ll obviously update the blog new details emerge.
