British home issues appeal to trace dead man’s relatives

BRITISH authorities were last night trying to trace relatives of an Irish pensioner who died at a nursing home in Leeds last week.

So little is known about Francis McGuire, 81, who died of a heart attack, that the coroner’s office in West Yorkshire has asked police to appeal for information about his family.

A coroner’s spokesman said they believed Mr McGuire might have come from Co Cork, but said little else was known about him.
