POLICE were called to a flat in Prestwich last week following the sudden death of a resident.

Mr Michael Trevor Simpson (54), of Tulle Court, is believed to have suffered an overdose of drugs although a post mortem examination has yet to take place to establish his exact cause of death. The divorcee's body was discovered by neighbouring residents shortly after 11.30pm last Wednesday.

Detectives carried out an investigation but later confirmed there were no suspicious circumstances. The matter has been passed to the coroner.
