Police are seeking help in tracing the final movement's of a Ballymoney man who died suddenly in Belfast City Centre.

A post mortem has taken place on the remains of Wilfred Holmes who was found in Donegal street at around 11.30pm last night.

The PSNI say they're examining the circumstances surrounding the 45 year old's death.

Wilfie, as he's known locally, was in Derry/Londonderry before travelling to Belfast yesterday.

He was around 5'9 with blue eyes, short dark brown hair and a medium build.

Detective Inspector Michelle Griffin said: “I am keen to gather as much information as possible about Wilfred’s movements. We know he was in the Derry/Londonderry area early yesterday, before travelling to Belfast.

"He was last seen in the Royal Avenue/High Street area of Belfast around 6.30pm and we would appeal to anyone who saw him between then and 11.30pm when his body was discovered."

“The smallest detail just might help us establish where Wilfred was during this time, what he was doing and who he was with.”
