Capitol Police are investigating the mans background.
The subject has a criminal history over the past 10 years or so, but nothing that, at this point, would link him to anything here at the Capitol, Manger said at a news conference later on Sunday morning.
He has not been identified publicly. D.C. police are handling the investigation into his death.
