Te first indication something bad had happened was when an ambulance arrived at the address on Mill Lane in Aslockton on Tuesday morning.

"An ambulance was at the property, near the blacksmiths, on Tuesday morning.

"Since then there has been a continuous police presence.

"There was a large group of CID officers going door-to-door on Tuesday afternoon and forensic teams were there all of Tuesday afternoon and again yesterday.

"CID, a group of circa eight officers were still there at 10.30pm that evening.

"As of 1.45pm Thursday) there are still two marked police cars in the drive.

"The suggestion from the door to door enquiries was suspicious death.

"The house is occupied by a marrieed couple with a young teenage daughter - no sign of them at the property.

"Neighbours are concerned, not least that something untowards has happened to the family."

A spokesman from Nottinghamshire Police said: "Officers were called to an address in Mill Lane, Aslockton, shortly before 11.15am on Tuesday following a report of a man’s sudden death.
