Merseyside Police were called to Moreton on Wednesday afternoon following the discovery of a man's body.
Officers were alerted just before 4pm by members of the public reporting that they had seen a man hanging in the woods off Pasture Road.
Police and paramedics attended and the man, who is believed to be in his 20s, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Enquiries are at an early stage and officers have advised his next of kin.
The death is not believed to be suspicious and a post mortem will be carried out to determine the cause of death.
