Police are appealing for witnesses following the unexplained death of a man outside a block of flats in West Norwood.

Officers were called to Summersell House in Benton's Rise at about 6.40pm on November 6, where they found a 23-year-old white man collapsed outside with severe injuries.

Paramedics tried to ressucitate him but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police described his injuries as consistent with a fall and are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death, which is being treated as unexplained.

A post mortem examination on Saturday found the man, who has not yet been named but was from the local area, died as a result of his injuries.

Police are investigating.

Police constable Andrew Birks said: "We need to speak to anyone who was in the area at the time. Did you see or hear anything?"

Anyone with information should contact Detective Sargeant Lambert from Brixton Police Station on 0208 6492119. Alternatively call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
