An investigation is underway following the suspicious death of a man at Lake Macquarie overnight.
Shortly after 1.00am on Monday, a taxi driver travelling on Oakdale Road at Whitebridge discovered a man by the side of the road.
The man had suffered extensive injuries and the taxi driver called for help.
The injured man, who's yet to be identified, was treated at the scene before being airlifted by the Hunter's Westpac Helicopter, but he sadly died while on the way to Sydney's Royal North Shore Hospital.
Police are appealing for witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage to come forward.
