A MAN and a woman have been released on bail as police continue to investigate an "unexplained" death.
Officers were called to the YMCA hostel on North Road, St Helens, at around 4.30pm on Tuesday, April 9, by paramedics, who had attended to reports of a man in his 40s requiring medical assistance.
The man was sadly confirmed dead at the scene and his next of kin have been notified and are being supported by officers.
Forensic and witness inquiries are ongoing, say police.
