Man's body found in Essex industrial complex as police investigate 'unexplained' death

Essex Police have launched an investigation into the unexplained death of a man at an industrial complex in Harlow.

Officers were called shortly before 5.15pm on Sunday to the Bush Fair area of the town following concerns for a man’s safety.

They discovered the dead body of a man at the industrial site and are now appealing for help from the general public.

Local news gatherers have reported that police have sealed off two entrances to a warehouse on the Fairway estate, having arrived there at 5pm on Sunday. Forensic officers are also on the scene.

Detective Chief Inspector Louise Metcalfe said: “We’d like to hear from anyone who has been in the area recently and may have information that would help our investigation.
