A man has been found dead, bound by duct tape and wrapped in a blanket, in the same home where 8-year-old Leiby Kletzky was found dead in 2011.

The deceased man is believed to be Tzvi Aron, the brother of Kletzky’s killer, Levi Aron. Tzvi, 29, has been missing since Tuesday, according to NY Daily News.

The body has not been officially identified by police, but a police source told the New York Post that the deceased is Tzvi.

Relatives found the body, which had been stuffed in a basement closet, around 2.45pm Friday.

Tzvi lived alone in the basement of the house where his family lives in Brooklyn, according to the New York Post.

The outlet reported he had been threatened last month and in December, someone called the house to say they were going to burn it down, though the motives for those threats is unknown.

Police are treating the death as a homicide, NBC New York reported, and the body has been taken to the medical examiner’s office.
