Son's tribute to Frank Burton killed in Wythenshawe house explosion

The son of a 91-year-old man who was killed in a house explosion in Wythenshawe has paid a heartfelt tribute to him.

Frank Burton was tragically found dead after a 'huge blast' in his home on Brownley Road on March 31. Police said there were 'no suspicious circumstances' and gas board Cadent said the gas mains and pipes 'did not contribute to or cause' the explosion.

The day after the blast, Mr Burton's brother Philip paid tribute to him at the scene outside his sibling's house. He described him as a 'character' and a 'good guy'.
