A man was found dead at a block of flats and detectives are now appealing for witnesses to the “unexplained” case.
The man in his 20s was found in Apex Apartments in Ifield Road in Crawley after police responded to a call following concerns for his welfare.
The man’s next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers following the incident on Monday, January 9 at 12.30pm.
Detective Inspector Dan McCarthy, of Crawley CID said: “I understand this news will shock and upset a lot of people in our local community, but I want to reassure them that we are conducting a thorough investigation and pursuing a number of hypotheses to establish how this young man sadly died.
“Our enquiries are ongoing and we are urging anyone with information about how the man died, or who may have interacted with him on Sunday, January 8, or the morning of Monday, January 9, to please get in touch. This includes anyone who may have seen or heard any suspicious or unusual activity in the area around that time.”
Anyone with information is asked to report it to police online or by calling 101 quoting Operation Southampton. Alternatively, report information anonymously via the independent charity Crimestoppers online or by calling 0800 555 111.
