The Samoa Police is calling on members of the public to come forward with information after the body of a man was found in Faleula on Saturday morning as investigations continue.

The police were contacted on Saturday morning to pick up a dead body from Faleula. Police Commissioner Auapaau Logoitino Filipo confirmed that the matter was reported to them. 

"The village of Faleula reported a dead body of a man to the police. Preliminary investigations reveal that he was a village member of Faleula and between 40 to 50 years old. Investigations are continuing," he said. 

The identity of the man has not been revealed and the cause of death has not been determined yet. It is unclear at this point if the police are suspecting foul play as it has not been indicated if any injuries were found on the man.

According to sources, the man's body was found by members of the village and reported the matter to police. It is alleged that the police were the ones to fetch the body from Faleula to the morgue.

It is believed that the matter would be handed to the Coroner to make a call if there would be a need to have a post-mortem examination.

Attempts to get comments from the village mayor were unsuccessful as of press time.
