Police are investigating the unexplained death of a man in Nelson.
Detective Inspector Lex Bruning said police conducting an unrelated visit to an address on Suffolk Road in Stoke became aware of a deceased person at the address around 8pm on Friday night.
The man's body appeared to have been there for some time, and the circumstances are unclear at this stage, Bruning added.
The Institute of Environmental Science and Research will assist with a full scene examination.
It is expected to take several days, and will include a forensic post-mortem.
