The death of an 83-year-old man has prompted an appeal to find his next of kin.  

The Norfolk Coroner’s Service is appealing for help to trace the family of Alex Scott.

He lived in the Fakenham area and died at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital.

He lived in a care home in Norfolk and his family are believed to be located in the Liverpool area.

There were no suspicious circumstances and despite carrying out extensive enquiries no next of kin have been identified.

Anyone with information relating to Mr Scott should contact the Coroner's Office in Norwich on 01603 774773.
