A man died after hitting his head on a truck at a factory in Melbourne’s south-east last night, police say.

The homicide squad attended the scene when the death of the 26-year-old Glen Waverley man was treated as suspicious, but detectives last night deemed the death non-suspicious.

Police believe the man died about 6pm after either striking his head on a truck or as the result of a fall at the Noble Park furniture factory. He was with a co-worker a short time earlier.

Greater Dandenong Criminal Investigation Unit will prepare a brief on the man’s death for the coroner.

A spokesman for Worksafe Victoria said they would wait to hear from police before considering further action.
