A DEAD body was found lying on a footpath in Greenford on Thursday last week.

Police were called to the driveway of the Birkbeck College Sports Ground, alongside of the East Bound Carriage way of Western Avenue at around 10.47am and found the body of Joseph H. Peters, 69.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

A post mortem found he died from hypertension and heart disease and police are not treating his death as suspicious.
