No further details about the man's age or identity have been revealed at this stage.

A file has been passed to the relevant coroner, police said.

The quiet residential street was sealed off on Tuesday morning, with two police vehicles seen guarding each side of the cordon.

Plain clothed officers could be seen conducting door-to-door enquiries nearby, with much of their investigations focusing on a forensic tent inside the cordon.

One local resident said he was awoken at 5am this morning by a police officer who was then seen standing outside another flat.

A spokesperson for GMP previously said: "Police were called around 5.10am today (18 January) to Rolling Street, Salford, to a report of a male having fallen from a building.

"Emergency services attended and despite the best efforts of paramedics he was sadly pronounced dead at the scene."

A spokesperson for Get Living, who manage the apartment complex, said: "We are very sad to confirm a death at New Maker Yards.

"We are working closely with the emergency services who are continuing their investigation and will issue further information as it becomes available."

Anyone with information should contact police on 101 quoting incident 374 of 18/01/22.
