A MAN was found in dead in public toilets close to Southend High Street yesterday afternoon.
The man, in his thirties, was discovered by cleaners in the loos off Tylers Avenue.
Police taped off the scene at about 4pm and PCSOs kept guard.
An Essex Police spokeswoman said: “We are investigating the circumstances leading up to the discovery of a man’s body in the toilets.
“It’s not thought, at this time, that the death is suspicious.”
Passer-by Paul Claydon said: “The toilet attendant found him, and then the PCSOs turned up.
“Then the police came and checked him, and put a cover over him.
“I realised what had happened because if someone was just ill you’d put them in an ambulance wouldn’t you. It’s such a shame really.”
