POLICE say foul play was not involved in a man's death on Teesside, in the early hours of this morning.

Detectives were called in by paramedics who had been summoned to Cambridge Road, Middlesbrough, at about 1.35am today.

They initially treated the death of a man found in the street outside the Cambridge Hotel, at Whinney Banks, Middlesbrough, as suspicious.

Police erected a tent over the site where the body was found while scenes of crimes officers examined the area.

Following the results of a post mortem carried out later in the morning, Cleveland Police disclosed the death was no longer being treated as suspicious.
