They would not release more information at the end of the day Thursday, pending the medical examination results.

"The Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office and the Hoboken Police Department are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of a male found deceased in Maxwell Place Park," said a spokesperson for the Prosecutor's Office earlier on Thursday.

An official did confirm that the man was found on land, not in the water.

Hoboken's public safety spokesperson, Marci Shapiro, said Thursday afternoon that the park has reopened.

The park is located on the northern end of Hoboken's waterfront, across the Hudson River from Manhattan, in a residential area that was formerly the Maxwell House coffee factory.

At the scene Thursday morning, police tape closed off most of Maxwell Park at 11th Street along the waterfront, as well as the adjoining children's playground. A forensic tent was set up on the grass near the waterfront area.
