Attribute to Detective Inspector Stephen Ambler:

Hamilton Police have arrested a person following the death of a man at a property in Frankton overnight. 

Emergency services were called to a Campbell Street address about 4.10am, following reports of someone being injured. Officers found a man with critical injuries, but despite immediate medical attention, the victim died at the scene. 

A 37-year-old man was arrested at the address and Police are not seeking anyone else in connection with the death.

A scene guard remains in place and a forensic examination of the property will begin this morning. Residents can expect to see a visible Police presence in the area while the investigation continues.  

We know this will be unsettling for the community, but I want to reassure residents that dedicated investigators are working to determine exactly what has occurred and why. 

Charges are being considered and further updates will be provided when appropriate.
