Police looking for person who gave man first aid before he died in the street

Police are looking for a person who may have given first aid to a man before he was found dead on a Stockport street.

Detectives are trying to piece together the final hours before Andrew Barker was found unresponsive on Peel Moat Road in Heaton Moor.

The 53-year-old was found just after 3pm on Saturday (November 6).

There are not thought to be any suspicious circumstances surrounding Mr Barker's death, but detectives want to talk to a person who may have helped him in the hours before.

Mr Barker was seen just before 2pm on York Road, heading towards Brownsville Road.

He was wearing a blue, hooded jumper under a black, hooded Adidas coat, blue jeans and dark trainers.

At 2.48pm, he then is seen returning to York Road from Brownsville Road.

He is pictured on CCTV wearing the same clothes but with a white bandage wrapped around his head.

Detective Inspector Ian Wrench, of GMPs Stockport division, said: "In the time prior to his death it is believed someone has assisted Mr Barker with first aid.

"We would like to speak to that person to try and work out where Mr Barker went in that 50-minute period and what happened.

"In that window we believe he could have been anywhere in and around the Heaton Moor/Heaton Chapel/Levenshulme area.

"We would like to trace the person who may have administered first aid to Mr Barker and put the bandage on his head."

Anyone with information should call police on 0161 856 9790 quoting incident 1841 of 06/11/2021.
