Renewed appeal for information from Lincolnshire Police following death of Andrew North of Newark at Woolsthorpe in December

Police are appealing for information following the death of a man at Woolsthorpe in December.

The body of Newark man Andrew North, 50, was found in the canal near to the Dirty Duck pub.

Lincolnshire Police are asking for taxi drivers, or anyone who may have given Andrew a lift, to get in touch.

His death is currently being treated as unexplained but not suspicious. The results of a post-mortem suggest that Andrew drowned.

Andrew left work at Talbot Chemicals in Newark at around 2pm on Monday, December 3 and at around 2.25pm he walked in to The White Swan pub at the junction of North Gate and Queens Road.

He left shortly afterwards, leaving by the back door that took him onto Queens Road. He is believed to have visited the Kings Arms, on Kirkgate, and Belams Bar, on Cartergate, later that afternoon.

We do not where he went from that point.

Officers are also trying to establish how Andrew reached the Dirty Duck pub at Woolsthorpe.

If you have any information which might help the police in their investigation please contact 101 and quote Incident 255 of December 5.

Alternatively, email force.control@lincs.pnn.police.uk and put Incident 255 in the Subject line.
