POLICE say a body found in a Gorse Hill alleyway this morning is being treated as a "suspicious" case.

But they say they are keeping an open mind about what happened in the run-up to the body being discovered at 5.45am today in Beatrice Street.

So far police have only confirmed that the man is in his mid-30s.

However, they have confirmed that they know his identity.

No details will be released to the public until his family have been informed.
