Just before 5pm on Saturday, January 23, officers were called to a property on Shady Side by the ambulance service following reports of man in cardiac arrest.

However, paramedics were unable to save him and the 20-year-old man was sadly pronounced dead at the scene a short time later.

A police investigation was initially launched but officers now say the man’s death is not thought to be suspicious.
