The body of a dead man was found at Charlton Stadium

A man's body was discovered at the Valley Stadium, the home arena of London's Charlton Athletic, on Tuesday morning. Police and the London Ambulance Service were called at around 11.15am to concerns about a man's health and found a 33-year-old man, who was pronounced dead at the scene. The event was reported to the law enforcement officers after the incident that happened early on Monday morning — that is, the body could have been on the territory of the stadium almost a day before it was discovered. The next of kin of the deceased have already been informed about the tragedy, and now they are being provided with the necessary support. Police are investigating the possibility that the man fell from a height before his death. The investigation is ongoing. The law enforcement officers asked possible witnesses to call 101, specifying the case reference. The incident forced the club to postpone the U21's match against Bolton Wanderers, which was due to take place at the Valley on the same day, with the game being moved to the team's training ground. This comes after the first team secured a 2-1 victory over Derby County in the opening match of the season on Saturday. The club released an official statement, expressing condolences to the family and relatives of the deceased, thanking its own employees for their professionalism in a difficult situation, and emphasized the absence of any hints of illegal actions on the part of the club. Charlton Athletic have confirmed that they are continuing to assist the police in their investigation and have asked that the privacy of the affected parties be respected.
