Man who tried to have sex with a postbox found dead

A man who tried to have sex with a postbox has been found dead. Paul Bennett was discovered at the rear of the Shanghai Palace in Poolstock, Wigan, in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Police said they are not treating the death of the 45-year-old from Worsley Mesnes, as suspicious. A source has suggested that it may be drugs-related.



A Greater Manchester Police spokesman said: “We were called at 1.35am on Sunday, February 23, following reports the body of a 45-year-old man was found in Poolstock. His death is non-suspicious so the coroner is now dealing with it.”

Mr Bennett appeared at Wigan Magistrates’ Court last month as he pleaded guilty to two charges of indecent exposure as well as using threatening and abusive words and abusive behaviour. An acquaintance of Mr Bennett said: “He had his troubles but he wasn’t a bad lad.”
