A Brisbane man is due to face court after his housemate allegedly died during a violent argument.

The 28-year-old from Murarrie, in the city's east, called emergency services just before midnight on Saturday at their Herbert Street property.

Inspector Rob Graham said when police and ambulance officers arrived, they found an unconscious 30-year-old man at the back of the house who couldn't be revived.

The younger man was taken to hospital for treatment and was questioned by detectives throughout Easter Sunday morning.

He was charged with manslaughter and is scheduled to appear in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Monday.
