An elderly man was found dead at his house in Ħamrun last night, probably due to natural causes, police sources said.

Police officers and Civil Protection Department personnel went to investigate after neighbours reported it had been some days since they had last seen the man, who used to live on his own in St Francis Street.

An autopsy will be held today.
