Officers said the body was found near Oakwood Hill Industrial estate, in Loughton, at around 11.55am on Saturday and the death was being treated as suspicious. Detective Superintendent Rob Kirby, from the Kent and Essex serious crime directorate, said: “We have been carrying out inquiries throughout the day and based on these we believe this man’s death is suspicious.” “A team of specialist detectives and staff are working around the clock to establish the circumstances around his death and we need anyone who saw or heard anything to come forward. “In particular, I need anyone who saw a vehicle or any suspicious activity late last night or in the early hours of today to contact us.” Part of the woods has been closed and road closures are in place to limit access to the industrial estate while investigations are carried out.
