Superintendent Naomi Moore told the media there were “reports of blunt force trauma being the predominant cause” of death.
Moore said there were reports the man was “obviously avoiding police” by camping in backyards.
Following inquiries, two men, aged 24 and 34, and a 35-year-old woman, were arrested at the scene and taken to Castle Hill Police Station.
“These people were known to each other. It wasn’t a random attack, and that will form part of our investigation,” Moore said.
They were released pending further investigation.
