Police have set up a crime scene at a property in Gatton after a man was discovered dead on Saturday.
Emergency services were called to a house on Old College Rd at 9.30am, where a man in his early 40s was found dead.
It is understood the man was discovered unresponsive in the house by a family member.
The address was declared a crime scene as investigators attempt to determine the circumstances surrounding his sudden death.
Tributes flowed for the man who has been identified as Nathan Stratford, including from his daughter Kylah Stratford who said she was “heartbroken”.
“I loved my dad so much he would always give people a helping hand,” she said.
“He was always loving and caring and would always take the opportunity to teach me life skills.
