The police write in a press release that the reason for the original call to the scene was a report of concern they received at 10.15 Monday.
– The police entered the address and found a lifeless person. Life-saving measures were initiated, but unfortunately lives could not be saved, says operations manager in the West police district, Dan Erik Johannessen.
The next of kin have not yet been notified.
Large resources rushed to the address, and at one point a drone circled over the block of flats. Three people have been brought in by the police in accordance with the Police Act.
– No one has been arrested. The three people do not have any formal status yet, says Johannessen.
A woman and two men have been brought in. The three were said to have been in the apartment when the police arrived.
– They have been on the scene, and have therefore been brought in. It is unclear as the case stands now, and we are very early in an investigation phase, says the incident leader at the scene, Rune Vedeler.
Was found in connection with a welfare check
The police state that they have a guess as to who the deceased is, but that they do not have a secure identification of the person at this time.
– The person was found in connection with a welfare check. This means that there was reason to investigate whether the person in question is well, says Lars Morten Lothe, chief of the Bergen city center police station to NRK.
It is too early to say anything about the cause of death, according to the police.
It was The Bergen newspaper who reported the police action first.
