Sussex police have released CCTV footage of people they would like to talk to as potential witnesses after the sudden death of a man in Hastings.

Frankie Boorman, 53, was found collapsed in Pelham Street, at the junction with Harold Place, shortly before 8pm on Sunday 10 April, 2022.

There was evidence he had been assaulted in nearby Wellington Place prior to his death, a post-mortem examination has since determined this assault was unlikely to be linked, but further investigations are being carried out.

Detective Inspector Duncan Elliott said:

“Frankie was a popular character who spent a lot of time in Hastings town centre. He was well-loved by his family and friends and our thoughts are with them at this difficult time.

“Frankie’s family are desperate to find out what happened to him, and we are conducting numerous enquiries to help provide them with those answers.

“The people in these pictures were in the vicinity of Pelham Street and Harold Place around the relevant time and could be key witnesses. We’d urge them to please get in touch with us to help support our ongoing investigation.”
