Police investigate the unexplained death of a man found outside a Surrey home, while confirming no public risk and no suspicious circumstances.
Early Morning Discovery Shocks Quiet Street
Early Friday morning, a quiet Surrey street woke to troubling news. A passer-by found a man’s body outside a house on Hazel Avenue in Guildford. Shortly after, police rushed to the scene at around 7:15am. As a result, the road closed while officers began their work.
Police Confirm Death Is Unexplained
Surrey Police say the death remains unexplained. However, officers do not believe crime played a role. Importantly, they also say there is no danger to the public. Therefore, residents can feel reassured.
The man was believed to be in his 30s. While formal identification is still pending, police think they know who he is. Meanwhile, his family has already been informed.
Prior Police Contact Triggers Automatic Review
Because officers had contact with the man before his death, the force has made a mandatory referral to the Independent Office for Police Conduct. This step happens as standard procedure. Consequently, it does not suggest wrongdoing.
Road Reopens as Enquiries Wind Down
Initially, Hazel Avenue remained closed to allow officers to investigate. However, the road has now reopened. Additionally, police say they no longer need information from the public.
Community Reassured as Questions Remain
Although questions remain, police stress that nothing points to suspicious circumstances. In short, this appears to be an isolated incident. For now, the community waits as authorities continue routine checks and bring clarity to a tragic discovery.
