AN investigation has been launched after the discovery of a man's body at a flat in Winchester.

The death, which police are treating as suspicious, is thought to be drug-related and would be the second such death to have happened at the flats in two years.

Two men are currently being questioned by police over the incident, which happened at an address in Fabers Yard off Staple Gardens, and are being detained at North Walls police station.

Officers were called to the flat at about 8am yesterday after an ambulance was called when the man's body was discovered.

A post-mortem into the cause of death was due to be carried out on the dead man, thought to be in his early 20s but who hasn't been named yet, yesterday afternoon.

Officers are also awaiting toxicology results before confirming whether drugs were a factor in the death.
