The decomposed body of a man was found in a Brighton flat last night.
Police are investigating and a post-mortem examination was being carried out this morning to determine the cause of death.
A team of detectives is investigating but officers said it was too early to say whether any crime had been committed.
Police were called to the flat in Upper Hollingdean Road, Hollingdean, at 10pm.
Neighbours became concerned they had not seen the occupant for some time. Officers found the body inside.
Police believe the man, aged about 50, had been dead for two weeks or more.
Acting Detective Inspector Paul Fullwood said: "We are keeping an open mind as to the cause of death and are awaiting the outcome of the post-mortem."
