A man was found dead from a suspected drugs overdose in an abandoned van.

A woman, thought to be a friend, discovered the body on Saturday night as she entered the vehicle in a goods yard car park at the rear of Brighton station.

British Transport Police officers said needles and other drugs paraphernalia were found near the body.

They identified the man as Lee White, 31, of Craven Road, Brighton.

A police spokesman said there were no suspicious circumstances and an inquest would be held.
