Qld man charged after fatal Brisbane fight

A man has died and another man is facing a manslaughter charge after a confrontation at an address in Brisbane's east.

A Queensland man has been charged with manslaughter after an argument between housemates turned violent in Brisbane.

The two men got into a fight at a home on Herbert Street, Brisbane, just before midnight on Saturday.

Both men, aged 28 and 30, suffered serious injuries as the incident escalated and the older man was rendered unconscious.

Inspector Rob Graham said the surviving housemate called authorities.

"Police and ambulances turned up and (found) one male person out the front of the house and a deceased male person at the back of the house," he told ABC radio.

The 28-year-old was taken to hospital for treatment and has been questioned by police on Sunday morning.

He will appear in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Monday to face one count of manslaughter.
