Police have nabbed a person of interest after a prominent Pennsylvania psychiatrist was found dead and naked with a belt wrapped tight around his neck.

The person of interest was found on a parole violation, and homicide detectives are waiting to speak with him, sources told WPVI.

A wanted suspect was seen walking out of Dr. Howard Baker’s hotel room in Philadelphia at 12:30 a.m. on Monday, with the victim’s backpack and wallet, Homicide Capt. James Clark told reporters at a press conference.

A housekeeper found Baker, 75, at 11 a.m. in his room at the Rodeway Inn, where he was lying on the floor face up, naked and strangled by a belt.

Authorities initially thought it was a case of auto-erotic asphyxiation, but called homicide detectives to investigate, CBS reported.

Baker checked into the hotel’s fifth-floor room at about 3 p.m. on Sunday, where two different men visited him during the day.

Police said the person of interest was the doctor’s second guest, who visited Baker that evening.

Baker told his wife he was in Philadelphia to watch the Eagles game at a bar, police said. His office was a few blocks away from the hotel where he died.
