Welsh police looking for 62-year-old’s next of kin believed to be in Northamptonshire

A Welsh police force is looking to Northamptonshire to trace the next of kin of a man who died earlier this month.

Michael Canham lived in Porthcawl in South Wales, around 30 miles west of Cardiff.

The 62-year-old died on Monday May 11, this year. The HM Coroner is now trying to trace his next of kin.

Mr Canham moved to Wales from Northamptonshire several years ago so it is believed his next of kin could be in the area.

Anyone who has information regarding his next of kin is asked to call South Wales Police 101, quoting reference number: 2000162300.
