A murder investigation is underway after the body of a man was found stabbed to death in Blackpool.
Police made the discovery at The Garfield Hotel on Springfield Road on Sunday, after responding to a concern for a welfare call.
The body of a man in his 50s was found inside with multiple stab wounds, and he's since been named as Kevin Price, 59, who lived at the address.
Det Chief Insp Simon Pritchard, of the Force Major Investigation Team, said: “First and foremost my thoughts are with Kevin Price’s loved ones at this time.
“A murder investigation is underway and enquiries are ongoing. I would appeal to anyone who can help us to get in touch.
“I am especially keen to hear from anyone who may have seen any suspicious activity around The Garfield Hotel on Springfield Road between Thursday last week and Sunday.
"Even if you think the information you have is insignificant, please come and speak to us and let us be the judge as it could help us piece together the events that led to Kevin’s tragic death.”
Police say Kevin's family is being supported by specially trained officers.
