The body of a man was found on derelict land in Ancoats, close to the city centre on Sunday afternoon (September 18). The male, thought to be aged in his 40s, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police and crime scene investigators had been spotted at the site of the demolished Central Retail Park, off Great Ancoats Street, Manchester, shortly after 3.30pm on Sunday. Officers were seen stood at the entrance to the site, with forensics also present.
At around 6.30pm, a private ambulance arrived at the scene and a body, on a stretcher, was placed inside. Police have since confirmed that a male, believed to be in his 40s, was pronounced dead but that it is not being treated as suspicious at this time.
