West Midland police officers are investigating the discovery of a man’s body found in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter on Monday morning.
The man, believed to be in his 40s, was found with serious injuries in Icknield Street, Hockley on Monday morning at 4am and was pronounced dead at the scene.
West Midlands Police have said that the man has still not been identified and that the cause of his death remains unclear.
The road remained closed between Hingeston Street and Pitsford Street for several hours while forensic experts looked for clues. Police have said that a post mortem will take place in due course.
Collision Investigator Sergeant Tim Rogers said: “There are various possibilities as to how this man came by his injuries, but we are keeping an open mind at this stage. We would like to hear from anyone who saw a black man with dreadlocks in the vicinity of Icknield Street during the early hours of this morning.”
Police have urged anyone with information to call collision investigators on 101 or alternatively information can be given to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
