Sections of the service station have been cordoned off with police tape, and an SES tent has been set up on the nature strip, where the man’s body remains.

Police said the exact circumstances surrounding the man’s death are yet to be established.

It comes just months after a woman fought off a group of teenagers during an attempted carjacking at the same service station in May.
