Police are investigating the suspected fatal stabbing of a man left propped up against a wall in south east London.
Officers were called by a passer-by who discovered him unresponsive in the car park of Effra Court, Homelands Drive in Crystal Palace at 9.24am on Thursday.
The man, in his 40s, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Detectives believe they know who he is and enquiries are underway to trace and notify next of kin.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: “At this early stage there have been no arrests. A crime scene is in place. Enquiries continue.”
A post-mortem examination will be held on Friday, although it is believed the victim had stab injuries.
Detectives from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command are appealing for anyone who may have seen any suspicious activity to make contact.
They are also keen for local people to check dash and doorbell camera footage.
Detective Chief Inspector Sal Minhas, who is leading the investigation, said: “A dedicated team of detectives are working to establish exactly what happened and identify who is responsible.
“Officers are at the scene, which remains open, and I would ask anyone with information about the incident to contact us immediately, no matter how minor the detail.
“Tackling violence remains a priority, and I urge the communities we serve to work alongside us to stop violence.“
