A MAN found dead at his Chaddesden home has been named by police as Steve Burton.
The 50-year-old's body was discovered this morning at his property in Selkirk Street.
A 38-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder.
Emergency services were called to Mr Burton's home at around 4.30am.
Scott Winson, 28, who lives in Derby, said Mr Burton was one of his best friends and spoke to him for the final time on Thursday - hours before his death.
The 28-year-old said: "He was known as the Clint Eastwood of Chaddesden and you could not meet a nicer bloke.
"I only spoke to him on Thursday and he was asking about my kids. He was very outgoing and was really game for a laugh."
"This will be a massive loss to Chaddesden and Derby because he was so well-known locally."
A police spokeswoman said: "Emergency services were called to a house on Selkirk Street at around 4.30am this morning where they found a man suffering from injuries.
"He was pronounced dead at the scene.
"Steven Paul Burton, 50, was identified by his family this evening.
"A 38-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder.
"Anyone with information that would help with the investigation should ring police on 101 or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
Neighbours have spoken of their shock following the death of the former window cleaner.
Kirsty Sharpe, 26, of Selkirk Street, said: "I heard what happened this morning when a friend called me.
"It's really upsetting.
"This street is not a place where you would want to bring your kids up."
