Police have rushed to a seaside town after a body was discovered in the centre.
Merseyside Police were called to Southport following a report of a sudden death at around 11am on Friday, April 18. A body was discovered in the town’s gardens.
Officers have cordoned off the scene and said enquiries are ongoing.
