Police are appealing for help from the public to trace the next of kin of a woman who has died.

Nicola Donelly lived at Benjamin Court, off Slater Street, according to GMP Bolton.

Appealing for information about Ms Donelly in a post on social media today, Thursday, police did not reveal when or where the 45-year-old died.

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

Anyone with information about the next of kin of Ms Donelly is asked to contact the Police Coroner's Office in Bolton on 0161 856 4687.
