A man has died after police were called an apartment block in Manchester on Sunday afternoon (October 30). Police and paramedics were called to a concern for the welfare of a male at a property on Graver Lane, Newton Heath.
The man, thought to be in his 40s, died a short time later. A man was also arrested at the scene, with an investigation underway to establish his cause of death.
