POLICE are appealing for relatives of a Teesside man found dead in his home to come forward.

Neighbours raised the alarm when they realised Charles Glover, 72, of Rosedale Crescent, Loftus, had not been seen over the weekend.

Police broke into his house and found Mr Glover dead in his living room. A post mortem examination is expected to be carried out today to establish how Mr Glover died, but police say there are no suspicious circumstances.

Coroners' officer Ray Baldwin said Mr Glover had worked at the steelworks at Skinningrove.

Anyone with information is asked to call Cleveland Police on (01642) 326326, ext 1506.
