Police attended at the home following a report that a man had suffered a cardiac arrest. But when they arrived at around 3.25am on Christmas Day, they found Mr Price gravely injured. Despite paramedics’ best efforts, the dad died at the scene.
Louis Price was killed in a suspected attack. A 33-year-old woman has since been arrested on suspicion of murder and is in custody. Neighbours of the home where Mr Price was found told the Daily Mail online they “heard something” at around 4.30am on Christmas Day that “sounded serious”. The woman, who asked not to be named, said she saw “emergency services were everywhere”.
Mr Price’s parents are understood to have been away on holiday when his death occurred. A neighbour said, “His poor parents were away on holiday when it happened.

It is beyond belief.”
