He said the police received a report from a man, 40, that his brother, 37, was found unconscious at a house at 9.20 am yesterday.
"Preliminary investigations at the scene of the incident revealed that the victim was unconscious on the floor, with a pillow and blanket and was confirmed dead by medical officers and the case was classified as a sudden death,” he said in a statement last night.
