Appeal for witnesses following death of man in Eccles

Police are appealing to the public for more information regarding an incident where a man was found unresponsive in Eccles.

Officers were called at 2pm on Sunday, June 23, to Princess Street, where they found a man in his 50s.

He had been seen riding a pushbike prior to the incident. He was taken to hospital, where he passed away.

Officers are now appealing for anyone who may know more about this incident to come forward.

Detective constable Seddon said: “This is a tragic incident in which a man sadly lost his life. The man’s family are being supported by specially trained officers.

“We are not looking for anyone else in relation to this incident but are now in a position to appeal to witnesses.

“Given the time of day and how busy the area was, we are confident that someone may have seen what happened to this man, can help provide answers for his family and establish the facts surrounding the incident.

”If you were near the Princess Street area on Sunday, June 23 in the afternoon, please contact us to help our investigation.

“Anyone with information, CCTV or dash cam footage can contact police on 0161 856 4741 quoting the log number 1771 of 23/06/24.”
