POLICE have confirmed a man, thought to be between 30 and 40 years old, was found yesterday (March 7 2023). 

Wiltshire Police descended on farm buildings in Trowbridge after a member of the public discovered the body shortly after 1:30pm. 

Several police units were seen close to farm buildings on the Ashton Road between Hilperton and Stoney Gutter, where the Sunday car boot sales are held.

Detective Inspector Eirin Martin said: “We are working hard to establish the identity of this person and urgently contact his next of kin. 

“An investigation is also underway to establish circumstances of his death and a post mortem examination will be carried out in due course to provide more clarity about how he died.

“We are keeping an open mind and seeking to establish the facts of this sad incident.

“I would like to appeal to anyone who might have relevant information to contact us. Additionally I would like to hear from anyone with dash cam footage taken from the area over the last week or so to please get in touch.”

The Wiltshire coroner has been informed.
