Officers were called to a flat in Stafford Road at 1.58am after a report of a disturbance. Police said they forced entry to the premises where they found a man, believed to be in his 40s, with serious head and chest injuries. He was taken to the Royal Sussex County Hospital where he was pronounced dead shortly before 4am, according to police.
