A good Samaritan is being sought after the death of a man in Paddock last year.

Police and coroner’s officers are investigating the death of a man, who collapsed in the street on Lowergate on August 9, 2017.

A passer-by stopped to give first aid at the scene and assist the man until emergency services arrived, but the 83-year-old later died.

A spokesperson for West Yorkshire Police said: “Between 8.30pm and 9pm, an 83-year-old man collapsed in the street and the passer-by administered first aid at the scene.

Police say the passer-by was a white male and aged in his 30s.

Anyone with information should contact DC Karl Riley of Kirklees CID via the non-emergency number 101.
