The area around the base of the building was cordoned off while a forensic investigation was carried out.

The man has now been formally identified as 36-year-old Michael Lee Graves, of De Montfort House. A post-mortem examination is due to take place today.

Officers have been conducting house to house inquiries and the scene remains cordoned off to allow for forensic examinations to continue.
