THE body of a man was discovered at a house in Orford this afternoon.

Officers were called to the semi-detached house on Poplars Avenue at  12.20pm today, Friday.

On arrival, officers were forced to smash down the door to the property where they discovered a man’s body.

An investigation was launched and a number of police patrol cars were parked up outside while witnesses have reported forensic teams entering the property.

Enquiries have since established there are no suspicious circumstances, Cheshire Police have confirmed. 

A file will be prepared for the coroner.
