THE BODY OF A MAN BELIEVED TO BE IN HIS 80'S HAS BEEN FOUND AFTER A HOUSE FIRE IN SEEDLEY

Emergency services were called at around 6:20am this morning (Tuesday 10th November) after reports of a house fire at a property on Liverpool Street.

The fire was quickly extinguished by firefighters but sadly the body of a man believed to be in his 80's was found at the scene.

A forensics team remains at the property and police have now launched an investigation into how the fire started.
