The police investigation into the deaths of two men in adjoining properties in Gatesgarth Close, Scarborough has concluded.
On Monday 26 May, police were called to the sudden death of a 69-year-old man. Officers became concerned as the death followed a similar incident on 21 May when emergency services were called to the sudden death of a 49-year-old man in an adjoining property.
Officers closed off the street and some properties were evacuated as investigations took place.
Work to examine the two properties in Gatesgarth Close concluded last week and the tests carried out confirmed that there were no environmental factors that could have contributed to their deaths.
North Yorkshire Police say that post-mortem tests have shown that both men died from natural causes. This means that there will be no further involvement by the police in relation to their deaths.
Officers say:
"Once again our thanks go to local residents for their patience and understanding during the period of disruption and uncertainty while we worked at the scene.
Our thoughts remain with the families of the deceased."
