Body found in suspicious circumstances - police

An autopsy was being carried out last night on a Dunedin man whose body was discovered in "suspicious circumstance" earlier this week.

The 19-year-old man's body was discovered at a suburban St Clair Park home on Monday, after he was reported missing by a family member last Thursday.

Detective Senior Sergeant Steve McGregor told the Otago Daily Times the body was found in suspicious circumstances.

Mr McGrgegor said police were investigating the man's movements over the past week and inquiries were continuing.
