The area was sealed off while initial police enquiries were carried out. The cordon has since been lifted and officers have confirmed there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the man's death.

A police spokesman said: 'A file will be prepared for Her Majesty's Coroner in due course.

'No further information about the deceased will be released at this time.'
