The 19-year-old was discovered on a grass verge on Stanley St, Glenfield, around 9.20pm last night, police said.

His injuries were consistent with having fallen from a height, police said.

"Enquiries are underway to establish whether there are any suspicious circumstances or whether this is a matter for the coroner," a police spokeswoman said.

"At this stage his death is being treated as unexplained."

The man's next of kin have been notified.
