The man's next of kin has been informed.

Police would not confirm if he was a Mitcham resident, or if he was a British national.

A police spokesman said: "Officers have examined the circumstances around the incident and are not treating the death as suspicious.

"Ultimately it's the coroner who rules on the cause of death though."
