Queensland Police are trying to "piece together" information after the suspicious death of a 44-year-old man in the state's south-west.

Police said the man and a friend went to an address at Hawkins Street in Miles at about 9:45pm on Tuesday and "took up" with a resident there.

They said an altercation ensued and the alleged victim suffered an injury to his chest and collapsed.

The Queensland Ambulance Service treated him at the scene before he was transported to Miles Hospital, but later died.

A crime scene has been declared.
