TWO men have been found dead at adjoining properties in a North Yorkshire town.

The county’s police force say emergency services are currently working at two properties in Gatesgarth Close in Scarborough following the unexplained deaths of two men in separate homes.

On Bank Holiday Monday, May 26, police were called to the sudden death of a 69-year-old man at his home in Gatesgarth Close and officers became concerned as the death followed a similar incident on May 21 when emergency services were called to the sudden death of a 49-year-old man in an adjoining property.

 

A force spokesman said: “At this stage it is not known how the men died and both deaths are being treated as unexplained at this time.

“As emergency services work to establish the circumstances and the cause of their deaths, and as a precautionary measure, two adjoining properties have been evacuated and the residents are being provided with alternative accommodation.

“A scene guard and cordon remain in place while a full search and examination of the scene is carried out along with tests to determine the presence of any environmental factors that may have contributed to their deaths. Tests are also due to be carried out to help determine the cause of their deaths.
