His next of kin have been informed of his death.
One neighbour, a man in his 40s who wished to remain unnamed, said: ‘This is a very quiet community – it’s one of the calmer parts of Paulsgrove.
‘But [the man] made a point of saying hello to me when I moved in.
‘We only spoke a couple of times but he seemed like a very nice person.’
Another said she was ‘shocked’ to hear of the man’s death, after seeing police in the area this morning.
She said: ‘What’s happened is really sad and you don’t expect it on your own doorstep.
‘I wish his family all the best.’
In a statement, a spokesperson for Hampshire Constabulary said: ‘The death of the man, aged in his 40s, is not being treated as suspicious.
