Just come past Bidston train Station near Tesco and it's all been taped/cordoned off by police and there are cars/vans everywhere.

Anyone know what's happened?

I guess I won't be popping into Halfords before the Wiki walk today then.

Halfords and the roads look to be open - it's the station and grassed area around the station that seems to be of interest

Thanks Volly

Just passed myself, 7+ police cars, interesting where are the wiki investigators?

CSI/Scientific Support were putting on their overalls as I just drove past.

And now the chopper is about....

anyone get any pics?

Information i am getting from my brother in law in the police is, there was a body found there this morning.

The body is also underwater so they are not moving it at the moment.

only pic I have found is here...

I thi it is in one of the ponds fender way side, i live up road on hoylake and they seem to be focusing this side of tracks x

iv been told that is in the water by the bridge, i just know that is it in the water by the station/field.

Yep, I think it's only been up a week or so, they contacted me via Twitter and I found this site after Googling for more info on the Bidston incident, I now have Wirral forums coming out of my ears lol

I found this article in the online globe.

The body of a man was discovered earlier today on marshland near Bidston station.

Police were called at around noon and recovered the remains, believed to be those of a man in his 50s.

A post mortem is being carried out and officers say at this stage they are treating the death as "unexplained."

The deceased has not yet been formally indentified.

THE GLOBE

I have pictures and a picture of the body in the body bag, ile get them up shortly. The body was taken away at 16:35pm

Not sure pic of a body bag would be appropriate WB. For the sake of relatives/friends of the deceased...

Ile put them on the other forum stated above then.

I heard he had apparently had a heart attack

Poor fellah, it's a bit too soon to go. RIP mate.

He may of just been walking, enjoying the fresh air, excercising. Passing away in your 50s is far too early.

just spoke with the girl who's grandad it is, she said it was a heart attack.

guy lived down the road from me in our close bit of a shock to find it was him realy
