POLICE want to trace the family of a South African man who died in Radcliffe last weekend.

There are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death of Paul Blacker, aged 61, who died in Canalside on August 2, but police are still keen to find his next-of-kin.

The Police Coroner's Officer is now appealing for help in locating any relatives of Paul's who may live in the Greater Manchester or surrounding areas.

Police believe Mr Blacker has a step-brother living in the Sheffield area.

Any information should be forwarded to Police Coroner's Officer Kathy Skelton at Phoenix House, Heywood on 0161 856 8097.
