Avon and Somerset Police have now made three arrests after a man in Frome died this week.

On Monday (October 17), the force say they were called out to a property in Castle Street by paramedics to the scene.

That was at about 12:00 noon.

Earlier today, a 38-year-old woman and a 36-year-old man were arrested on suspicion of manslaughter.

A 42-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of the same offence yesterday (Thursday 20 October).

They all remain in custody.

A post-mortem to establish the cause of death is expected to be completed next week, and the 24-year-old man's family have been informed and supported by 'specially trained officers'.

Detective Inspector Andy Greaves said: “Our thoughts and sympathies go out to the man’s family at this difficult time.

“Three people have been arrested and they remain in custody. Our investigation is at an early stage, but we believe this is an isolated incident at this time.

“We’d please ask anyone who has information that could help our investigation, to call 101 and quote reference number 5222250013. Alternatively, if you’d rather report the information anonymously, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.”
