Police have confirmed the death of a man believed to be from the local area and in his forties in Theddlethorpe is not being treated as suspicious.

An extensive investigation took place after officers were called out to Brickyard Lane last Thursday after reports of a fatal car fire.

Officers say next of kin are aware but formal identification is yet to take place, the matter has now been passed to the coroner's office.

Last Thursday Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue alerted to Lincolnshire Police to a body of an adult in the back seat of a car at 8.24pm on Thursday 12th August after they extinguished a fire.

At the time, last Thursday, Detective Inspector Paul Coleman said: "We are working hard in conjunction with the Fire Investigation officer to establish who this was and what has happened"

"We would ask that people do not speculate but instead contact the Police with any information they may have that would assist this investigation"
