Keiran Pretlove's body was found at an address in Laburnum Gardens

A police investigation has begun after a man was found dead.

Thames Valley Police said the body of 33-year-old Keiran Pretlove was found at an address in Laburnum Gardens, Reading, at about 23:00 GMT on Sunday.

Officers said a post-mortem examination was not able to establish the cause of the death which is being treated as "unexplained but not suspicious".

They have appealed for a man who may have seen Mr Pretlove shortly before his death to come forward.

Mr Pretlove's family and next of kin are being supported by specially trained officers.

Det Ch Insp Laura Corscadden said: "We have scene-watches in place at the address in Laburnum Gardens and another address in Linden Road with police reassurance patrols in those areas.

"There is no threat to the wider public but please speak to a uniformed officer if you are worried or concerned."

She said police wanted to speak to a man wearing a dark jacket and lighter trousers who was in the area at about 21:30.

It is thought he may be a witness to events surrounding Mr Pretlove being found unwell.
