Man, 49, found dead in Chislehurst street after welfare concerns raised

Published at 9:50am

A 49-year-old man has died in a residential street in Chislehurst after police were called over concerns for his welfare.

Police were called to Belmont Lane at 7.31am on Friday 6 November, following a report raising concerns for the welfare of a member of the public. Officers attended alongside the London Ambulance Service, where they found the man. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

His next of kin has been informed. The Metropolitan Police said the death is being treated as unexpected but non-suspicious, and a report will be submitted to the coroner.

When a death is unexpected, the coroner is notified so the cause can be established. A report to the coroner does not mean the death is suspicious — it is the standard process when someone dies suddenly or unexpectedly.

Belmont Lane is a residential street in Chislehurst, in the London Borough of Bromley in south-east London.

Separately, a man has been charged with murder after a woman was found shot dead in Hounslow, and a murder investigation is under way in Woolwich after a man died following a shooting.
