The badly decomposed body of a man aged in his 60s was discovered in a home by police. The grisly find was made by officers when they forced entry into his home in Long Eaton, Derbyshire.
Teams from the force’s forensic teams moved in and around the house in Briar Gate, Long Eaton and the house’s garden.
Pictures from the scene seemed to show the home full of rubbish, including old appliances and bags which were being sorted by forensic teams.
Several emergency service vehicles were seen parked outside the home.
A police spokesman confirmed there are not any suspicious circumstances surrounding the man’s death.
In a statement, Derbyshire Police said: “We were called to a property in Briar Gate, Long Eaton, shortly after 9.20pm on Monday 17 July, following a report of a concern for the safety of a man.
