Police have spent almost two days at the property, with teams of forensic officers combing the scene in an attempt to gain evidence or any clues into what might have happened.
Processing the crime scene has been a lengthy procedure, photographing and categorising every detail, and although it was understood there wasn't much in the unit, police say it has to be thoroughly processed.
It is understood the unit is a single bedroom with an attached laundry area.
Police would not confirm the name of the dead man, despite it being reported in other media outlets, saying they would not release a name until it was confirmed all next of kin had been informed.
