Reports said that police were called to the campus at Cupertino, south of San Francisco, shortly after 8.30am in response to reports of a possible suicide.
A spokesperson for the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s department confirmed that an investigation was underway and later said no one else was involved in the incident and that nobody else had been at risk.
The Santa Clara County Fire Department said crews were called to the scene but were then waved off and never went on campus.
Matt Keller, a reporter with ABC, said Apple was not yet not commenting “on the death at its Cupertino headquarters”.
The identity of the person whose body was found was not immediately clear but it was confirmed he was an Apple employee.
