AN investigation was launched by detectives on Thursday after the body of a man was found in a flat.
A neighbour made the discovery in Starkie Road, Tonge Moor, on Wednesday night. The body had been inside the flat for some time and was partially decomposed, police said.
It is thought to be that of a 54-year-old man but mystery surrounded his identity and he had not been formally identified.
A spokesman confirmed that the discovery is not being treated as suspicious.
