Police investigating the discovery of a man’s body inside a Grovedale home are not treating his death as a homicide.

Officers were called to Riatta Ave about 11:30pm on Friday to perform a welfare check on a resident.

A Victoria Police spokeswoman told the Geelong Advertiser on Monday homicide squad detectives were still investigating, however “the death is being treated as non-suspicious.”

There was a high police visibility at the address on Saturday morning, with many residents left shocked by the incident.

The exact circumstances of his death remain unknown.

EARLIER: On Saturday morning, police had established a crime scene around the home with detectives at the property investigating and interviewing neighbours.

One neighbour said police had been called “multiple times” to the property in the past.

“It’s a rental property,” he said.

“A couple have lived there for a number of years.”

An elderly neighbour who lives down the road from the home said Riatta Ave was a quiet street where families and retirees lived.
