Queensland police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the sudden death of a 39-year-old man in Waterford West on March 9. The discovery has led to a sprawling inquiry spanning multiple locations south of Brisbane, with investigators working to establish what happened in the hours before the man's death.

Around 6.35pm, officers were called to a carpark on Chambers Flat Road following reports a man had been located deceased. Paramedics arrived at the scene and assessed the man for life-threatening injuries, but he could not be saved.

The investigation quickly expanded beyond the initial carpark discovery. A second crime scene has been declared at a Logan Reserve residence as police investigate the circumstances surrounding the man's death. The two locations are separated by approximately four kilometres, suggesting investigators are examining a chain of events rather than an isolated incident.

A 33-year-old man is currently assisting police with their inquiries. Police have not yet charged anyone in connection with the death. Police do not believe there is any ongoing threat to the public, indicating they are not seeking additional suspects at this time.

The investigation remains in its early stages. Police are appealing for information from anyone who may have witnessed events on the night or who can provide other details relevant to their inquiries. Members of the public with information can contact Queensland Police through the online suspicious activity form, which operates around the clock, or call 131 444. Alternatively, crime information can be reported anonymously through Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or via their online portal.
