Overview
- Nottinghamshire Police were called to the Forest Recreation Ground at about 6:13am on Tuesday and first responders pronounced a man in his 20s dead at the scene.
- Officers cordoned part of the park off Noel Street while forensics examined the area to gather evidence and establish the cause of death.
- By Tuesday afternoon the cordon had been lifted and officers had left, with a piece of torn police tape the only visible sign of the earlier activity.
- Local observers reported discarded items near the 7th Nottingham Scouts' hut close to the scene but police have not linked those objects to the death.
- Police say there are no suspicious circumstances and will compile a file for the coroner, a standard step that will determine the formal cause of death and next actions.
