A post mortem is expected to be carried out later today on the body of a man found deceased in Queen Street overnight.
Police were called after the man was found unresponsive in a doorway on Queen Street.
At this stage it is not known how the man died and his death is currently being treated as unexplained.
A fight between several people had taken place shortly before the man was found. It is not yet known whether this has any link to the man’s death and officers are working to establish the circumstances leading to the death.
Efforts to locate the man’s next of kin are currently underway.
