43 people who died alone this year and the fight to find their families

The ECHO is today publishing the names of men and women in Merseyside who died alone this year.

Throughout 2022 Merseyside Police on behalf of coroner's officers has released the names of people who have died alone. A search is underway to trace their relatives, otherwise they could be laid to rest in lonely funerals, known as public health funerals, which are organised by the local authority.

The ECHO is listing the names of people whose relatives police are still trying to trace.
