A major health alert has been issued after potentially 'hazardous substances' were found on a dead body on a street.
The warning has been released by Greater Manchester Police after the corpse was found in Wigan at 6.50pm on Thursday, November 24. Pictures from the scene show a police forensic tent at the side of the road, with a pair of black bags sitting nearby in the middle of the street.
Residents say they are "confined" to their homes while police investigate.
