Tragically, the 29-year-old, who has been identified in tributes as Lewis Kent, was declared dead at the scene. An investigation was initiated by the force and a 30-year-old woman was arrested. She was questioned on suspicion of domestic abuse offences.
The woman has subsequently been released on bail while the investigation proceeds. Police stated “enquiries into the circumstances regarding his death remain ongoing,” reports the Manchester Evening News.
Tributes for Mr Kent were posted on social media throughout the Easter weekend, including one thought to have been shared by his mum. She portrayed him as a “lovely, big-hearted lad” and said he ‘would never hurt a fly’.
Another tribute stated: “What a a lovely lad.” A further tribute noted: “He was such a innocent loveable lad.”
