The victim was not Jenkins and it looks like he is in Florida right now. Lets see if he was involved somehow.

1:52 PM PT --The Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office tells TMZ Sports ... the dead body is a man, but he's NOT the owner of the house.

Officials will not release the identity until next of kin have been notified. 

"The investigation is ongoing, and additional information will be provided when it is available and appropriate for release."

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.

We've reached out to JJ's reps for comment -- but, so far, no word back.

Sounds like Ray Donovan was the one needed.

So, Janoris' brother killed someone, got high and then was too paranoid to fly?  I got that right?

Well damn, I was about to say maybe it was just a case of a homeless person breaking & entering the premises, but I will hold off on that now...

A worker discovered the corpse in the basement of the Fair Lawn residence at around 10:30 a.m., while the football star was in Florida, ESPN reported.

The victim was identified as Roosevelt Rene, 25. 

Officials from the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office told WCBS/Channel 2 that Rene was a family friend who had been staying at Jenkins’ house. It’s unclear how he died or when.

“The manner of death will be determined by the Bergen County Medical Examiner’s Office after a postmortem exam,” officials said in a statement. 

Neighbors told The Post that Jenkins, 29, often lets family members and friends stay at the home when he isn’t there.

...

Local residents said Jenkins lives with his girlfriend and brother. It’s unclear if either was at the luxury, six-bedroom home when the body was found. 

According to NJ.com, Rene and Jenkins knew each other through the NFL player’s own rap music, which he released under the name “rabbit.”

Rene reportedly produced music under the name Trypps Beatz. Public records show that he had previously lived in Texas, Georgia and Spring Valley, NY.

Jenkins' brother has been charged with manslaughter.

"The older brother of Giants cornerback Janoris Jenkins has been charged in the death of a music producer whose body was found in the football player’s home, officials said.

William Jenkins, a 34-year-old ex-con, faces a charge of aggravated manslaughter in the death of Roosevelt Rene, the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office announced Wednesday afternoon.

Rene, 25, was found dead by a worker in the basement of Janoris Jenkins’s Fair Lawn, N.J. home on Tuesday, authorities said.

The death is being probed as a possible strangulation, the NFL Network reported.

The star defensive back, 29, was in Florida at the time of the grim discovery."
