Police investigating a man's death in Southampton have said they are treating it as 'unexplained'.

The body of 54-year-old Weber Nogueira was found at his home in Channel Way in Ocean Village at 11.16am on Wednesday (March 22nd).

Hampshire Police said his family are being supported by specially trained officers.

They've launched an appeal for dashcam footage.

DCI Rod Kenny, who is leading the investigation, said:

"We are at the early stages of this investigation and are keeping an open mind as to how Weber died.

"I want to hear from anyone who was driving in Canute Road, Ocean Way, Channel Way or the wider Ocean Village area between 10.30pm on Tuesday, 21 March and 4.30am on Wednesday, 22nd March and has dash cam footage.

"Similarly, I am keen to hear from anyone else who may have information that can help us understand Weber’s death."

Hampshire Police have said that there is no known risk to the wider community at this time.

Chief Inspector Marcus Kennedy, deputy district commander for Southampton, said:

"Our thoughts are with the family of the man who died.

“You will see more officers in the Ocean Village area so if you have any information that could help this investigation, or have any concerns, please reach out to them when you see them.”

Those with information are asked to contact Hampshire Police on 101, or report online, quoting 44230113928.
