A homicide investigation is under way in Hamilton after a man died at a Huntington property overnight.

Detective Senior Sergeant Andrew Saunders said emergency services were alerted to an incident on Borman Rd, Huntington, just after 7pm.

The man had sustained serious injuries and died at the scene, despite receiving immediate medical attention, police said.
