Police have said a man whose body was found beside a major road died from a "head injury".

Emergency services were called to the A47 near King's Lynn at about 09:22 GMT on Monday.

Norfolk Police said a Home Office post-mortem examination took place on Tuesday and the preliminary findings were that the man, aged in his 20s, died as "a result of a head injury".

The force said the death was still being treated as unexplained and it was "working to understand the full circumstances".

Earlier in the week, officers appealed for anyone with information or dashcam footage showing a man walking along the A47 Pullover Road, at Tilney All Saints, in the early hours.
