Coroner's officer's appeal to trace family of Sunderland woman Lynn Harlow is succesful

Coroner’s officer Andrew Weighill was trying to trace any surviving relations of 68-year-old Lynn Harlow.

Ms Harlow was found dead at her home in Elstob Place, Silksworth, on Thursday, January 6.

An investigation into the circumstances of her death is ongoing but efforts to trace any family members had been unsuccessful.

After an appeal through the Echo website, Ms Harlow’s brother has now come forward.
