A Metropolitan Police officer added:

We were called at 5.50am following concerns for the welfare of a man. Officers attended and found a man deceased. The incident is being treated as suspicious. No arrests have been made at this time. Inquiries continue.

At the moment the death is unexplained although as said, it’s being treated as suspicious, so I guess we’ll just keep you updated once new information comes through. Pretty dark – sounds like it’s probably another stabbing as they are a common occurrence in London, although that is of course just speculation. It could be any number of things.

Or maybe it was a result of those arseholes who were trying to garotte people in the park. What a bunch of cunts.
