A MAN in his 20s was found dead in a house believed to have been taken over by squatters.

Police were called to Edith Road, West Kensington, on Friday morning last week and found the body while they carried out an inspection. The death is not being treated as suspicious.

Witnesses said officers were on the scene for most of the day and were seen carrying bags out of the property.

A neighbour said the road is not known for having problems with squatters.

Scotland Yard said police were called to reports of squatters in the house. They confirmed the death is not being treated as suspicious and that the police investigation has been closed.
