The death of a businessman found inside his New Jersey diner Saturday has been labeled suspicious and is being investigated by police in Morris County.
The body of 71-year-old Chafic Ezzeddine, known as "Steve," was discovered by his wife inside the Kenvil Diner at about 6:30 p.m. Saturday, according to Roxbury Township Police Chief Mark Noll.

Police are not currently releasing the manner or cause of death.
