Police beg for help identifying man who collapsed and died at McDonald's
Police are begging for help to identify a man who collapsed at a McDonald's and later died five years ago.
The rough sleeper, known locally as 'Elliot', passed away at Lincoln County Hospital in Boston, Lincolnshire, on April 11 2018.
CCTV shows him standing at the tills in the restaurant wearing a dark cap.
He is believed to be in his late 50s or 60s - though investigators have been unable to establish his surname or trace any of his family.
Lincolnshire Police said in a Facebook post they believe Elliot has a daughter living in Wrangle and he may originate from the Carlisle area.
