Coroner’s officers are searching for the family of a Halifax man who has died.

Michael Thompson died on Monday, September 4 but coroner’s officers are struggling to find his next of kin.

They are urging anyone who knows who the relatives of the 77-year-old are, where they live and how to get in touch, to contact them as soon as possible.

Anyone who can help should contact Bradford Coroner's Office on 01274 438800.

A coroner's primary duty is to make inquiry into a person’s death and complete the certificate of death.
