The death of a man in his 60s, whose body was found in his Middlesbrough home is no longer being treated as suspicious.

A 50-year-old man was initially arrested in connection with the death but police yesterday released him without further action.

This came after a post mortem examination showed that the man, named locally as David Jones, died under no suspicious circumstances.

Mr Jones’ body was found in his home in Salisbury Terrace, South Bank on Wednesday morning.

Police were originally treating the death as “unexplained”.

Following his death neighbours spoke of their shock and upset, with one elderly woman describing Mr Jones as a “lovely, quiet man”.
