Man tragically found dead two months after last seen alive

A MAN was sadly found dead at his home more than two months after worried neighbours last saw him alive, a coroner said.

Peter Ramsden, 74, was found on January 2, 2025.

He had several long-term health conditions and was thought, "on balance", to have died from natural causes.

Neighbours were concerned for Mr Ramsden after not seeing him for two months.

"Paramedics attended on one occasion but have no powers of entry", wrote Professor Paul Marks in a Prevention of Future Deaths Report following an inquest.

The police have powers of entry Fire & Rescue, and Humberside Police.
