He said: “I saw the police van there and went up to ask what was happening.
“The officers said there was a dead body but couldn’t give much more information than that.
“They have covered the body and the street has been cordoned off so you can’t get along round that way.”

“We can’t speculate on what’s happened so it’s best to leave it to police to do their job.”
