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

Pamela Hart died at an address on Hibbert Street on August 2 according a post on social media by police.

Appealing for information about Ms Hart in the post on social media this week, GMP Bolton said there are not thought to be any suspicious circumstances surrounding the death of the 65-year-old.

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 Hart is asked to contact Bolton's Police Coroner's Office on 0161 856 4687.
