Northern Territory Police are investigating after a man was found dead on the driveway of a property near Darwin on Saturday morning.
In a statement police said they had been notified at about 6:15am of an "unresponsive adult man ... on the driveway of a residence near the intersection of Driver Avenue and Waterhouse Crescent".
The home is in Driver, a suburb of the Darwin satellite city of Palmerston about a 20-minute drive from the Darwin CBD.
"Upon police arrival, the man was declared deceased and a crime scene established," the statement said.
"Detectives from Major Crime are currently in attendance and the death is being treated as suspicious."
A crime scene was declared and was in place for most of Saturday.
Detectives from the Major Crime Unit are investigating the circumstances surrounding the man's death.
Detective Acting Senior Sergeant Paul Morrissey said police were looking to the public for help.
"Police are urging anyone who witnessed any suspicious behaviour in Driver overnight, particularly if you have dash-cam footage, to make contact on 131 444," he said.
"You can also make an anonymous report through Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000."
'Everything was quiet'
Darryl Stokes, a Driver resident who lives nearby, said locals had been shocked to hear about the death this morning.
"Everything was quiet on the street," he said.
"I've just come out, checked on the neighbours … and I've just heard on the grapevine that someone deceased [was found] on the corner.
"It's sad to hear, for the family and the person.
"But otherwise, we're still trying to find out more, so we know our families and we [ourselves] are safe."
He said he had not heard anything overnight that could suggest what might have happened.
"It's just strange that we didn't hear anything, see anything," he said.
"For the time it happened in the morning, it's very quiet normally and you would hear something."
