The man was slouched over in a chair in an office at Aqua Leisure Plus, a Rehoboth Beach-area business that sells spas, pools and billiards equipment.
Police say the owner discovered the man around 10:50 Sunday morning and called 911.
The body was taken to the state Medical Examiner's office, and police say they won't release his name until family members are notified.
