Murder victim was strangled
A 24-year-old man found dead at a house in Stourbridge was strangled, a post mortem has revealed.
Police leading a murder inquiry have also confirmed the identity of the man as Carl Watson.
Officers have not revealed whether he lived at the address where his body was found but confirmed he is from the Stourbridge area.
A murder inquiry was launched following the discovery of the body at an address in Stepping Stones on Monday afternoon.
Three men were arrested yesterday on suspicion of murder but all have been released on bail pending further enquiries.
Scene of crime officers sealed off the house following the discovery as forensics teams scoured the property for clues.
Neighbours in the street looked on stunned as a police guard was set up outside the driveway to the house not long after officers first arrived at the scene.
A forensics tent was also set up at the side of the property. Neighbours said a van had also been removed from the address following the launch of the investigation.
A West Midlands Police spokeswoman confirmed the post mortem revealed the man had died as a result of strangulation. Anyone with information should call police on 0845 1135000.
