THE Bolton coroner has been informed after two men were found dead in separate incidents in the town.

At 6am on Bank Holiday Monday a family member alerted police after the body of a man in his 20s was discovered at a property in Witney Close, Halliwell.

Then at 4pm police were called after a 31-year-old man was found dead at a flat in Rothwell Street, Daubhill.

Police say there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding the deaths, which are thought to be unrelated.

Investigations will continue and inquests are expected to be opened in the near future.
