POLICE investigating the death of a man in a Greenock flat earlier this year have ruled out foul play.
Officers launched a large-scale operation after the body of a 48-year-old was discovered at a property on Antigua Street in September.
Detectives, uniformed officers and a forensics team attended the cordoned off area for days, with a section of Hope Street also sealed off.
The circumstances of the man's death had been clouded in mystery for months, with police having treated it as unexplained.
However Police Scotland have now confirmed that there are no suspicious circumstances involved.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Around 7.05am on Thursday, 21 September, 2023, police were called to a property in Antigua Street, Greenock, after the body of a 48-year-old man was discovered.
"There are no suspicious circumstances and a report has been sent to the procurator fiscal."
