The investigation, led by the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team, centres on a residence on Marsden Grove, where officers responded to concerns for a man’s safety at 8:29am on Wednesday, 19 March. Upon arrival, emergency services confirmed that Mr Leach had sadly passed away, and a small fire was found within the property.

Cause of Death Still Unknown

While the cause of death remains unconfirmed, police are treating the incident as unexplained and have not yet identified any suspects. The presence of the fire inside the home has added complexity to the case, and forensic work is ongoing to determine whether it played a role in the man’s death.
