A post-mortem revealed the man died as a result of a suspected medical episode
A murder investigation has been stood down after a body was found in Castle Gardens in Leicester.
Police were called to reports of a body in a bush before 8pm last night (07th May). The man was pronounced dead at the scene.
The two people arrested on suspicion of murder – a 46-year-old woman and a 79-year-old man, from Leicester – have been released from custody with no further action to be taken.
A post-mortem examination found a man died as a result of a suspected medical episode.
Detective Inspector Lorna Granville from the East Midlands Special Operations Unit, said: “Fast time actions carried out following the call to the force have determined that the man died as a result of a suspected medical episode.
“I’d like to thank the officers involved for their work overnight and today, and to the public for understanding our need to close Castle Gardens while our enquiries were carried out.
“The force will now conduct an investigation on behalf of HM Coroner which will aim to understand the circumstances that lead to his death."
