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

Gordon Potter died on Romsley Drive on Wednesday, May 10, according to GMP Bolton.

Appealing for information about Mr Potter in a post on social media this week, police said there are thought to be no suspicious circumstances surrounding his death.

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 Mr Potter is asked to contact the Police Coroner's Office in Bolton on 0161 856 4687.
