THE family of a York man who died earlier this week is being urged to come forward by York Coroner's Office.

North Yorkshire Police said the office had issued an appeal to find the family of 51-year-old Russell John Parker, who died at his home in Kingsway North, Clifton, on Monday.

"There are not believed to be any suspicious circumstances surrounding his death,"said a spokesperson.

"Inquiries so far have not traced any of Mr Parker’s next of kin. It is believed some family members could be in the Tickhill area. (near Doncaster).

"If you are a relative of Russell, or know a member of his family, please contact the coroner’s office on 01609 643123."
