Police treating man's death as 'unexplained'

Individual found deceased within premises in Douglas

Police are treating the death of a man in Douglas as 'unexplained'. 

Officers were called to an address on High View Road shortly before 5pm on Friday, 21 March following a report of a man being found deceased within the premises.

Detective Chief Inspector Neil Craig, who is leading the investigation, says: "As a result of our attendance at the address in High View Road yesterday afternoon, we are currently treating the nature and circumstances of the man’s death as being unexplained.

"A police presence remains at the address, and within the local area, while we continue to make necessary enquiries into the matter, and work with the gentleman’s family and the Coroner of Inquests in order to fully understand exactly what has occurred.

"I can however confirm that there is nothing which suggests any wider risk to any members of the public at this time, and would ask that people refrain from making any speculations which may inadvertently cause distress to the gentleman’s family."
