Investigations
Greater Manchester Police said they were unable to say if the death was suspicious or not, and a post-mortem examination would have to be carried out.
It is understood that the man - thought to have been in his 40s - had lived alone in a flat.
Police said they were open-minded as to what had happened and investigations are continuing.
