A devastated Leeds grandad has spoken of how he’ll dearly “miss” his neighbour whose body was found by ambulance crews.
Mark, who was believed to be in his 40s, has been named locally as the man who was sadly found dead inside his house in Wykebeck Mount, Halton, earlier today. West Yorkshire Police crime scene investigators were at the house with a documentary film crew in attendance while investigations continue.
Next door neighbour David Bathick, 71, spoke of how Mark was popular in the community as he was always friendly. The retired builder shared his fond memories of when he and his son would sit with Mark in his garden around a bonfire for hours, chatting and drinking a few beers.
