The body was found by two residents of the complex. A doctor attended and pronounced death at 1:30am. The body was left in situ under Police guard until daylight for investigators to conduct a full inquiry into the body being found in that location. Identification has not yet been established however we can say that it was a black male. It is anticipated that an autopsy will be carried out sometime today.
