Man found dead inside squatter’s home in Melbourne

A man’s body has been found inside a squatter’s home on Bendigo Street in Collingwood, in Melbourne's inner suburbs. 

Emergency services were called to the residence just after 10.30am, when the body was found.

The man is yet to be formally identified.

Police have confirmed there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the man's death.

A report will be prepared for the coroner.

More than a dozen squatters living in houses acquired for the East West Link project were evicted from Bendigo Street earlier this week.

Up to 30 police officers and security guards were deployed to assist with the removal after months of protest.
