A man has been found dead after he was allegedly assaulted in a fight with a group of men at a Gold Coast hotel.

Sam Leschke, 21, was found dead at his parents' home on Soma Street, Mudgeeraba.

Police said the man had been drinking at the local Wallaby Hotel on Friday night and was involved in a fight with around seven other men about 10:30pm.

The man went back into the hotel with friends, before returning home later and continuing to drink.

His body was discovered by a family member around 9:30am on Saturday.

The house as well as a children's park have been cordoned off by police.

Detective Inspector Marc Hogan said forensics will be examining both scenes as well CCTV footage.

"We've got a crime scene set up at that address, the park next to the hotel is a crime scene as well," he said.

Mr Hogan wouldn't say if the man died as a result of the alleged assault.

"That'll become clearer in the days ahead," he said.

"The victim does have some obvious injuries consistent with an assault.

"But as to how significant they are we obviously don't know that."

Anyone with information is urged to contact police.
