Coroner Seeks Next of Kin for Deceased Individuals

The body of a 48-year-old British tourist was discovered on a beach in Rhodes, Greece, after he went missing two days earlier while swimming with his niece. Local authorities had been searching for him following a report by his niece when he failed to return from the water. Meanwhile, in the UK, police in Salford are appealing for next of kin of 58-year-old Katrina Higginbottom, who died with no suspicious circumstances. Similar appeals have been made by the Coroner for Dorset regarding two deceased men, Eric Stevens, 61, from Weymouth, and another unnamed man, also not treated as suspicious, whose next of kin have not been located. The calls for public assistance highlight ongoing efforts to connect deceased individuals with their families in cases of unclaimed deaths.
