THE body of a man was found in a house in Darlington last night.
Detectives were called to the semi-detached private house in Oakdene Avenue - in the Grange Road area - at about 6pm, where the 47-year-old local man's body was discovered.
An investigation has been launched but police would not confirm last night whether the death was being treated as suspicious.
The inquiry is being headed by Detective Chief Inspector Andy Reddick, of Durham Constabulary, who said: "We are currently investigating the death of a 47-year-old man in Oakdene Avenue."
The property was sealed off as a team of officers carried out a detailed investigation of the home
