Coroner's officer’s appeal for help to trace family of Washington man Paul Sayers is successful

Coroner’s officer Andrew Weighill is conducting an investigation into the death of Paul Sayers, 58, who died at his home address in Banbury, off Usworth Station Road in Washington, on Sunday, April 3.

Mr Weighill had spoken to the deceased’s brother, who had informed him that Mr Sayers has five children, but was not in contact with them at the time of his death.

None of Mr Sayer’s known family members had contact details for the children.

Mr Weighill appealed through the Echo for anyone who had any information on how to contact Mr Sayer’s children to get in touch as soon as possible.

Today, Monday, April 11, he confirmed that he had been able to locate all four of Mr Sayer’s daughters as a result of the appeal and he thanked everyone who had come forward.
