Death of man near Southampton church is 'painful mystery'
A murder investigation was launched into the death of Leszek Migdal
The family of a man found dead near a Southampton church say his death remains a 'painful mystery'.
52-year-old Leszek Migdal, also known as Peter, was discovered outside Freemantle United Reform Church on 19 August.
Police initially classified the death as unexplained but not suspicious.
Following new information which came to the attention of officers in September, a murder investigation was launched.
A 46-year-old man from Southampton was arrested on suspicion of murder in connection with Leszek’s death.
He has since been released from police custody on conditional bail to allow for further enquiries to continue.
Paying tribute to Leszek, his sister said: "In remembrance of my beloved brother Peter, whose death came as a painful mystery.
"We are reaching out to anyone who may have even the smallest piece of information related to his passing, as it would greatly help us to find solace in saying our final goodbyes.
“Even though the circumstances he found himself in were tough, we always wanted the best for him.
“Peter will be remembered as life continues for us, we love and will miss him a lot.”
Police want to hear from anyone who has any information that may assist with the investigation.
