Tribute has been paid to a 23-year-old man found dead at his home.

Marvin King was found on Tuesday morning by a friend at the address in Windsor Grove, Oakworth , Keighley .

Yesterday, the friend – who did not want to be named – described Marvin as “loving and friendly”.

“He was a quiet, kind and gentle lad who wouldn’t hurt a fly,” she said.

“He loved animals and was the most good-natured person you could ever meet.”

She added that Marvin had learning disabilities and suffered from health problems, which prevented him from working. “He had nerve damage to one of his legs and had to wear a calliper and he was really down about it,” she said.

Police said the death was not being treated as suspicious and that a post-mortem examination would be carried out to determine the exact cause.
