Police are appealing for assistance from the public to trace the next of kin of a man who died in Radcliffe.

Mario Simpson, 52, died at an address on Spring Lane this month according to a post on social media.

Appealing for information about the next of kin of Mr Simpson, police said it is possible he has a brother somewhere in Stockport or Trafford.

In UK law, there is no definition of next of kin, but it is understood to be the closest relative, whether a partner, a parent, a child or a sibling.

Anyone with information about the next of kin of Mr Simpson is asked to contact the Police Coroner’s Office on 0161 855 8497.
