Next of kin appeal - 28-08-2008

Police are appealing for the public's help in tracing the next of kin of a
man who died in Wigan.

Shortly before 3.45pm on Tuesday 26 August 2008, police were called to a
house on Melrose Avenue in Leigh following reports from the ambulance
service that a man had been found collapsed.

Officers attended and the man was pronounced dead at the scene.

He was later identified as John Maurizi (born 15/10/1953).

There are no suspicious circumstances surrounding his death and the
details have been passed to the coroner.

Officers are now trying to trace any of John's relatives. It is believed
he may have a son called Michael who now lives in Ireland.
