Police have sealed off two properties in Gravesend after a man's body was discovered in a garden.

Officers were called to The Overcliffe, near its junction with Lennox Road, at about 7am this morning and cordoned off an area of pavement until about 10.15am.

In the next few days a post-mortem will be held into the death of the man, who is thought to be in his 80s, but police are not treating it as suspicious.
