Police confirm Boxing Day death in Cottingham no longer treated as suspicious

Humberside Police received a call from paramedics at approximately 9am on Boxing Day to an address on Ormesby Walk in Cottingham.

Officers were deployed and discovered a 52-year-old man to have died inside the address.

Two men, aged 30 and 50-years-old, were initially arrested on suspicion of murder.

However, in a recent update from Humberside Police it was confirmed the man’s death is no longer being treated as suspicious.

Following a Home Office post mortem the force announced the 52-year-old man’s death is “not being treated as suspicious and a file has been prepared for the coroner”.

Detective Chief Inspector Amy Keane-Christie leading the investigation at the time said: “Since the incident was reported to us on Friday, 27 December last year, officers have been conducting a number of lines of enquiry to establish how the man came to sustain fatal injuries inside his address.

“I can update as part of those enquiries, a 30-year-old, and 50-year-old man who were arrested on suspicion of murder at the time, have both been released unconditionally from our investigation with no further action.

“At this time, the man’s death remains unexplained, and a file has been prepared for the coroner.”
