Police have launched an investigation into a suspected suicide after the lifeless body of a man was found at a home in Garden Hills early Tuesday morning.

It was an emotional scene as loved ones gathered at the residence on Chenille Street, off Soldier Road. 

Inspector Gerard Culmer said police were contacted by a family member, who found the victim "in a state as a result of hanging", sometime around 6.30am. 

Emergency medical services reportedly attempted to revive the man but were unsuccessful and he was pronounced dead by the coroner.
