The body of a man found in a woodland on a fell by members of the public has been identified by police. It is thought the body could have been on Longridge Fell, Lancashire, for many months.
Police released a statement yesterday (April 20) revealing the man had a scar on his stomach consistent with an appendectomy and that he could have been where he was found for months. Police issued an update today saying they have been able to identify the body.
Enquiries are ongoing to identify the person's next of kin.
