Det Ch Insp Ben Wood, from South Yorkshire Police, said the family of the man who was found dead had been made aware and were being supported.
He added that a small cordon remained in place in part of Maple Grove as investigations continued.
“A number of officers will remain at the scene over the course of today and potentially over the weekend as they carry out further inquiries and establish the circumstances behind this incident.”
Det Ch Insp Wood also appealed for anyone with information or footage which might help the investigation to get in touch.
“Even the smallest piece of information could really aid our investigation, so I would urge you to make contact if you can help us in any way,” he said.
