A large police presence attended an area of Wharf Road which was cordoned off by Vivid’s offices as a police tent was erected following a “sudden death” on Friday October 17.
Police said the body was that of a man in his 30s – with the death being treated as unexplained but not suspicious. The death remains a mystery today (Monday) with the man’s identity not currently known. No flowers or cards have been placed at the scene where the body was found.
A Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary spokesperson previously said: “We were called at around 10:15am on Friday (October 17) to the Wharf Road area of Portsmouth following a report of a sudden death of a man aged in his 30s.
“The death is being treated as unexplained, but not suspicious, at this time and a file is being prepared for the coroner.”
