Lincolnshire Police launched an investigation after the body of a 55-year-old man was discovered on Clifton Street, Lincoln, early Sunday morning, 12 April. However, a post-mortem examination on Monday, 13 April, revealed the man died of natural causes. Three individuals arrested in connection with the case have now been released with no further action. A file will be sent to the coroner as investigations continue.
Initial Murder Suspicion Sparks Arrests
Officers responded just before 10:30 BST on Sunday after emergency services confirmed the man had died some time earlier. Two men, aged 33 and 50, and a 54-year-old woman were apprehended on suspicion of murder but later released once new evidence emerged.

- They want information from drivers or pedestrians who travelled along Kesteven Street or Clifton Street during that time.
