A man in his 40s has since been arrested on suspicion of murder and at this stage officers are not looking for anyone else in connection with the death.

A spokesperson for West Midlands Police said: “Officers remain at the scene carrying out enquiries and a post-mortem will be held to establish the cause of death.

“Anyone with information has been asked to get in touch via 101 or Live Chat, quoting log 585.”
