Unexplained death – police appeal for witnesses and footage
Unexplained Death in Southampton Sparks Investigation and Appeal for Information
The police are appealing for information and dash cam footage as part of an investigation into an unexplained death in Southampton. On Wednesday, 22 March, the body of Weber Nogueira, 54, was discovered at his home address on Channel Way, Ocean Village at 11.16am. The police have since launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death.
DCI Rod Kenny is leading the investigation and has called on anyone who was driving in Canute Road, Ocean Way, Channel Way, or the wider Ocean Village area between 10.30pm on Tuesday, 21 March and 4.30am on Wednesday, 22 March and have dash cam footage to come forward. The police are also keen to hear from anyone else who may have information that can help them understand Weber’s death.
Chief Inspector Marcus Kennedy, deputy district commander for Southampton, has reassured residents that there is no known risk to the wider community at this time. However, he acknowledges that the incident may cause concern in the community and that the police are working hard to understand the circumstances surrounding Mr Nogueira’s death.
“Our thoughts are with the family of the man who died,” said Chief Inspector Kennedy. “You will see more officers in the Ocean Village area, so if you have any information that could help this investigation, or have any concerns, please reach out to them when you see them.”
The public can contact the police on 101, report online via their website or directly upload CCTV, dash-cam, or doorbell footage using the provided portal. Information can also be reported anonymously via Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 111.
The investigation is still at an early stage, and the police are keeping an open mind as to how Weber Nogueira died. The public’s cooperation in providing information and dash cam footage will be crucial in helping the police understand the circumstances surrounding this unexplained death.
