An inquest is to be held into the sudden death of a Dovercourt man.

Police investigations began after the body of the 49-year-old man was discovered at his home in Main Road by his father.

Scenes of crime police officers spent several hours at the house on Friday.

But a police spokesman today (Tuesday) confirmed that following the post mortem examination the man's death is not being treated as suspicious.

The man's name may be released after the inquest which is due to be opened and adjourned on Thursday.
