STAFF at the Royal Bolton Hospital are appealing for help in tracing the family of a 71-year-old man who died in hospital.

Stanislaw Sztor died on Thursday July 18 after a short illness but officials have been unable to find his next of kin.

Mr Sztor's last known address was Bromwich Street, Bolton.

The death is not being treated as suspicious and anyone with information should contact Jean Peters, the hospital's bereavement officer on Bolton 390807.
