Lancashire Police are looking to trace the family and friends of a man who was very sadly found dead in Preston last week.
Officers were called at 4.30pm on 23rd April to an address in Wellington Street, Ashton-on-Ribble, to a report of a sudden death.
Timothy Charles Coghlan, 68, was found deceased in the premises. His death is not being treated as suspicious.
