POLICE say a man found hanging out of a window at a South Avenue home died of natural causes.

Detectives have closed the file into the case after the findings of a post mortem examination conducted in Macclesfield last Friday.

Firefighters released the body of the man from a rear window of the property after a neighbour alerted emergency services. It is understood he may have been there for up to 12 hours.

Police have not released the identity of the man, in his mid-20s, who is believed to be from the Orford area.
