Mel Gibson Shocked Over Suicide On His Property

Actor Mel Gibson is reportedly feeling "terrible" after a dead body was discovered at one of his homes in what appeared to be a suicide, TMZ.com reported. The body belonged to a man who was a construction worker on the site. His name hasn't been released.

According to reports, the incident occurred at Gibson's Agoura Hills home, currently under construction. The 48-year-old man's body was found hanging from a rafter by the job site foreman, who made the 911 emergency call.

"Detectives along with paramedics arrived at the scene and the gentleman was pronounced dead on arrival. Cause of death will be determined by the Los Angeles Coroner's office," Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Det. Eddie Brown told E! News.

Based on the state of his body, which was reportedly in "full-body rigor mortis," authorities believe his death might have occurred on the night before he was discovered. So far, officials say no note was found, and no clear reason for the suicide has been identified.

"There were three additional co-workers there, one of them notified the police," Brown added. "Nobody lives on the property, it’s only wood framework."

According to sources, Gibson, who most recently directed the controversial and bloody films "The Passion of the Christ" and "Apocalypto," has no plans of moving in there too soon.
