The Sunday Sun newspaper is published by ncjMedia, a subsidiary A SEASIDE guest house was at the centre of a death riddle last night after the shock discovery of a man’s body.

Officers were called to the Bermuda Guest House, in North Parade, just off Whitley Bay’s Promenade, at around 5pm on Friday and found the man, believed to be 39, with injuries.

Paramedics were called and after an examination he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Locals said the street was swarming with police cars and officers.

The guest house was cordoned off and a panda car and police van remained at the property for much of yesterday.

It is believed the man was discovered in a bedroom on the second floor of the spacious redbrick terrace.

His immediate family have been informed of his death.

Four men were arrested but as of last night it was not known if any charges had been brought

An investigation has now been launched to establish how he suffered his injuries and a post mortem examination was due to take place.

Extra officers are in the area to carry out enquiries and offer reassurance.

Connor Tilson, 21, who lives doors away from the guest house, is a distant relative of the man found dead.

Steel worker Connor said: “The man is 39 and he is my mother’s cousin.

“Although he lived doors away, I didn’t really see him often or didn’t talk to him a lot.
