Officers appeal for next of kin to come forward following the death of a man in Little Hulton

Shortly before 2pm yesterday (Thursday 2 January), we received a report for concern for welfare of a man in a property on Seddon Street in Little Hulton.

Officers attended and discovered what is believed to be a gas leak at the property and as a precaution whilst the fire service carried out enquiries, a cordon was established and neighbouring properties were evacuated.

Sadly, Roger Snelham (5/12/45) was found deceased.

We are seeking assistance from the community to locate any relatives or loved ones of Mr Snelham.

His death is not being treated as suspicious and a file will now be prepared for the Coroner.

Anyone with any information about Roger’s next of kin is asked to come forward and speak to the Police Coroners Office on 0161 856 4687 or 101 quoting log 1527 of 2/1/25.
