Police discovered an elderly man dead outside in Sjöbo, southern Sweden. The man was in his 80s. Authorities initially treated the death as a potential murder case due to unclear circumstances. Two men were arrested as murder suspects earlier in the investigation. Police later released both men after questioning and further investigation. The evidence no longer suggests any criminal activity occurred. Police spokesperson Patric Fors said the collective assessment shows no signs of a crime. The investigation has now been downgraded from a murder case. This case highlights how initial suspicions can change as police gather more evidence. The quick release of suspects shows Swedish police follow proper procedures when evidence doesn't support charges.
