Residents look on as the Air Ambulance lands inside the police cordon

Neighbours have revealed their shock after a man was found dead at a flat in Lichfield.

Part of a walkway off Purcell Avenue in the Nether Stowe area of the city was cordoned off yesterday afternoon (April 16) as a police forensics team entered the property.

The Midlands Air Ambulance was also called and landed near to the scene.

A neighbour told *The Lichfield Blog* that he had seen forensics officers in white overalls entering the property throughout the evening.

Neighbours also reported that officers had been called to the address earlier in the day.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman confirmed they had attended, but added that it would be “inappropriate” to comment any further.
