Police and the ambulance service responded to a 'sudden death' in Denton today.
Residents said officers first appeared on Wordsworth Road at around 11am this morning.
A cordon was intially in place covering a large section of the residential street.
A forensics tent was then erected where it is understood the body of a man was discovered in the front garden of a terraced house.
Police remained at the scene for most of Wednesday investigating the circumstances.
However, a spokesperson later confirmed to the M.E.N that the death is being treated as non-suspicious and a file will be sent to the coroner.
Residents spoke of their shock and upset when approached by the M.E.N.
"It's my neighbour, it's very sad," said one.
"I saw the police out of my window but I didn't really want to look [at what they were doing]," said another.
Greater Manchester Police said in a statement: "This was a sudden death. There were no suspicious circumstances and a report is being prepared for HM Coroner.
"North West Amulance Service also attended."
