Floral tributes have been left at the scene of an unexplained death outside an apartment block in Nottingham. Police are investigating the death of a man whose injuries were "consistent with a fall from height".
The force was called to George Street in Hockley shortly before 10pm on Monday, August 1. The man received medical attention at the scene but died later in hospital.
Police are now appealing for any witnesses to come forward, especially a man they believe was in the George Street area at the time of the incident who may hold vital information into what happened. While his injuries are consistent with a fall from height, there is no evidence to suggest his death was suspicious.

Our inquiries remain ongoing and we are appealing to anyone who was in the area and saw what happened to please get in touch with us. We are particularly keen to talk to a man we believe was in the George Street area at the time of the incident and who may have vital information which could assist us with our investigation. I would urge him to please get in contact with us as soon as possible.”
