Jason Rae, 31, was found dead by police at a flat in the Hyde Park area of the city yesterday afternoon, with a 32-year-old man arrested at the scene on suspicion of supplying controlled drugs.

A spokesperson for West Yorkshire Police said, "Police were called to a flat in the Hyde Park area of Leeds, where they found the body of 31-year-old man.
