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

David Norton died at an address on Minster Close in Tonge Moor on September 12.

Appealing to the public to trace the next of kin of Mr Norton in a post on social media this week 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, a parent, a child or a sibling.

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