Officers were called to Close Drean at 3:38pm this afternoon.
Despite immediate intervention by officers, members of the public and other emergency services at the scene, a local victim has tragically died and a murder investigation has been launched by the Isle of Man Constabulary.
A spokesperson for the Isle of Man Constabulary stated: “A local person has been arrested in connection with the investigation.
