Appeal to find family and friends of man found dead in Preston

Lancashire Police are looking to trace the family and friends of a man who was very sadly found dead in Preston last week.

Officers were called at 4.30pm on 23rd April to an address in Wellington Street, Ashton-on-Ribble, to a report of a sudden death.

Timothy Charles Coghlan, 68, was found deceased in the premises. His death is not being treated as suspicious.

Police believe that Timothy had not been seen or heard from for some months.

Despite extensive enquiries, they have been unable to trace any family or people who might have known Timothy.

If you knew Timothy or know of people who knew him or have information as to who family members might be, please contact police on 101 – quoting log 1014 of 23rd April 2025.
