The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department received a call around 8:35 a.m., according to KNBC-TV.

According to the department's Sgt. Andrea Urena, authorities believe the incident was isolated and that nobody else was in danger.

It was not immediately clear whether the death was suicide or natural. The coroner's office is investigating.
