No further action after death of man in Weymouth
Police have found no third-party involvement in the death of a man who was found unresponsive in a tent
Detectives have confirmed there was no third-party involvement in the death of a man who was found unresponsive in a tent in Weymouth.
Dorset Police were alerted at 7.32am on 13th May 2025 to the discovery of the man in his 30s on land off Mercery Road near the Mount Pleasant Park and Ride site.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
An investigation, led by Dorset County CID detectives, saw two men of no fixed abode – one aged in his 30s and the other in his 40s – arrested on suspicion of murder.
Both were subsequently released on police bail, while extensive enquires were carried out into the circumstances surrounding the death.
These enquiries took several months and a detailed post-mortem examination of the man and toxicological analysis was conducted.
After reviewing all available evidence, Dorset Police have confirmed they are now satisfied there is no indication of any third party involvement in the man’s death.
The man’s family has been informed of the investigation’s findings while the two men previously arrested have been released from bail and will face no further action.
Detective Chief Inspector George Graham, of Dorset County CID, said: “Our thoughts remain with the family and loved ones of the man who sadly died.
“We have continued to keep them updated as we carried out a full and thorough investigation into the circumstances of the death.
“Following extensive enquiries, we are satisfied that there is nothing to indicate any third party involvement that caused the man’s death.
“This matter will now be the subject of coronial proceedings and we will continue to assist HM Coroner during this process.”
The man’s family has been informed of the investigation’s findings while the two men previously arrested have been released from bail and will face no further action.
