Man found dead with three others in Norfolk had called 999 over mental state

Four people found dead in home named by police force as Independent Office for Police Conduct starts investigation

A man who was found dead in his home near Norwich along with three others was told to seek medical advice when he expressed concerned about his mental state in a 999 call earlier that morning, the police watchdog has revealed.

The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) announced on Tuesday that it has launched an investigation into Norfolk constabulary's prior contact with the man, and its failure to respond to a call before the deaths last Friday.
