A CORONER has appealed for help in tracing the relatives of a North-East man found dead in Leeds.

Leeds Coroners believe Thomas Hunt came from the Durham area and his son Paul still lives there.

Mr Hunt, 81, was found dead at his home address on Arthington Terrace, Hunslet, Leeds, on April 1. It is believed he died of natural causes.

Mr Hunt is also thought to have had a daughter, Ann, who lives in southern England.

Any relatives of Mr Hunt are asked to call Sarah Hill at the Leeds Coroner’s office, on 0113-397-0600.
