Tributes have been paid to the director of a Norwich nightclub who was found dead in the city.

Police were called to an address in Norwich city centre by paramedics after a man was found unresponsive in a property above Bished nightclub on Prince of Wales Road.

Sergeant Lee Wagstaff from Bethel Street Police Station said a man in his 30s had been found and was confirmed dead shortly afterwards.
