The body was found about 12:15 p.m. in a house on Schliegel Boulevard, just south of the Southern State Parkway, police said.
Suffolk homicide detectives were unable to determine the gender or the cause of death because of the body’s decomposition, police said. The county medical examiner will attempt to determine the cause and manner of death.
