Police are appealing for assistance from the public to trace the next of kin of a man who died in at a care home in Horwich.

John Holden died at St Catherine's Care Home on Queen Street on Monday (July 15).

Appealing for information about Mr Martin in the post on social media today, Friday, GMP Bolton said there are not thought to be any suspicious circumstances surrounding the 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 Holden is asked to contact Bolton's Police Coroner's Office on 0161 856 4687.
