Coroner’s officer Allan Young, said: “I need to speak with the next of kin so that I can finalise my inquiries for the coroner.

“I believe that there may be a relative of Alexander’s – a woman called Kim Murray – living in the Wellington area of New Zealand and I need this woman to get in touch with me.

“I’d also like to hear from anyone else who has any information that might help me find his next of kin.”
