An investigation into the deaths of two men in the same house almost a year ago has found neither fatality was linked, nor were they suspicious.
A probe was launched after the body of a man in his 40s was discovered at the property in Changi Road, Watton, on October 13 last year.
Then, just a few days later, the body of a second man, Artiomas Grigaitis, aged in his 60s, was found in the house on October 20.
Gas engineers carried out extensive testing at the property and found no evidence of carbon monoxide gas.
A Home Office post-mortem on Mr Grigaitis took place soon after, and an inquest opening gave his provisional cause of death as hypovolaemic shock due to a scalp wound, with a contributing factor of acute alcohol intoxication.
An examination for the man in his 40s was also carried out although investigators had been awaiting toxicology results.
Police had previously confirmed both men lived together at the property and that officers were not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths.
A spokesman for Norfolk Constabulary said: “We’ve concluded our investigations and found no evidence to suggest the deaths are linked.
"We do not believe there is any third-party involvement, and the deaths are not being treated as suspicious.
“The circumstances will now be considered by the coroner through the inquest process.”
While officers were conducting their enquiries into the discovery of Mr Grigaitis's body, one woman standing on the pavement said she could see “blood everywhere” as she looked through the ajar door.
Neighbours have said that Mr Grigaitis, a Lithuanian lorry driver, was “very polite”.
A woman, who has lived next door for 12 years, said: “He was a really nice guy, very polite, I didn’t know him well at all, only to say hello to and exchange pleasantries when we would pass one and another.
“I have never seen so many police on a street in England before, it was crazy and we knew straight away that something really serious had happened.”
