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

Jimmy Persotham Singh died at an address on Kippax Street on October 30 according to a post on social media.

Appealing for information about the next of kin of Mr Singh, police said there are not thought to be any suspicious circumstances surrounding the death of the 66-year-old, who is thought to have family in the area of Trafford.

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 Singh is asked to contact the Police Coroner's Office on 0161 856 4155.
