DORSET’S coroner has appealed for the public’s help to find the next of kin of a 42-year-old man who died at hospital.

Dennis Heald, of Malmesbury Park Road, died at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital on Friday, April 12.

No police investigation is necessary into his death as it is not being treated as suspicious.

Coroner’s officer Pip Morgan said: “We are not treating the death as suspicious, however, we have not been able to locate his next of kin.

“If any member of the public has any knowledge of his family members, please contact us as soon as possible on 01202 123900.”
