Police checking on the welfare of a man in east Charlotte found him stabbed to death inside a home Monday.

Police said they could not immediately identify the victim.

Officers went to a home in the 2100 block of Purser Drive after receiving a 911 call about 1:16 p.m. The caller had grown concerned after being unable to reach the victim.
