Police got into the house and found his body after officers were called over a concern for safety.

Since the discovery at 11pm in Holly View, a post-mortem investigation has been carried out.

The death is currently being treated as suspicious.

A 28-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder.

Police have issued an appeal requesting anyone with information should call Calderdale CID via 101 quoting incident 1394 of January 22.

Information can also be passed on anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Yesterday we reported a man is suspected of having murdered his wife before getting into his car and fatally smashing into a tree.

The tragic couple were named locally as Ann Furneaux, 70, and her 74-year-old husband Edward.

Neighbours speculated that Mrs Furneaux had been ill for some time and could have been the victim of an assisted suicide.

One female neighbour, who did not wish to be named, also told how police forensic teams had been searching the couple’s detached 70s property for evidence.
