A 40-year-old man has died in the Chells area of Stevenage today, in what police are describing as a non-suspicious death.

Both Herts police and the ambulance service were called at 11.28am in response to concerns for the welfare of a man at an address in Chells Way.

He was later pronounced dead at the scene and police officers remain at the address now. His next of kin have been made aware.

The death is not being treated as suspicious and officers are preparing a file for the coroner.
