Greater Manchester Police Force

If you are in the Greater Manchester area, and a person dies suddenly or unexpectedly, under suspicious circumstances, your first action should be to report this death to the Greater Manchester Police Force on the following number:
0161 872 5050

A police officer will attend the incident site (the location at which the deceased person is currently located) as soon as possible. They will advise you on the steps and procedures that will follow, and will notify either the deceased's general practitioner, or an on-call doctor outside of regular business hours.

It may be concluded, in some circumstances, that the deceased may be transferred directly to our care at the funeral home. However, the deceased may need to be transferred to an appointed mortuary facility at a local hospital, so that further examinations or investigations may be completed.
