KENT Police are investigating after a young man, believed to be in his 20s, was found dead inside a house.

Officers were called to the property in Park Road at Dartford at about 4pm on Monday by concerned neighbours who had not seen the occupant for days.

The man's body was found inside after officers forced entry into the property.

A Kent Police spokesman said: "The deceased was a white man, probably in his 20s. It is too early to know the circumstances surrounding this incident."

Scene of crime officers, wearing specialist white suits to prevent contamination of the scene, arrived to gather evidence and searched the entire house.
