Bid to find dead man's relatives
A coroner is trying to trace the relatives of a 34-year-old man who was found dead at his home in Cambridge.

The body of Vincent Tomkins was found at his home in Carlyle Road, Cambridge, where he died on 4 May, this year.

Mr Tomkins is believed to have come from the Lincoln area and his date of birth is 3 September 1973.

A spokesman for the coroner's office of South Cambridge said all efforts to find relatives of Mr Bond had so far drawn a blank.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Cathie Mallows, coroner's officer in South Cambridge.

How sad. He was only young as well.

he must have family somewhere even if they are distant.
Not nice thinkin he is there all alone and as you say he was only young

Very sad, but was his surname Tomkins or bond? or is it me that is confused?

I think the BBC must have adapted an older article and forgot to make changes.

Well a Vincent Allan Tomkins birth is reg july/sept 1973 mmn Mawer Louth Lincolnshire.,,,,..........surley with national data they can with resourses they can backtrack,?with nat insurance numbers &tax details, to employment plus medical records.,

What a terrible shock awaits his family,,,they have my full sympathy,

I know Kay...hope the family can be traced and I hope they find out in a more sensitive way than over the internet although it will probably come as a blow either way.

Lesley,,
So do I lesley,,,,maybe with this in the open on BBC.his family can be found& soon,,,,even with the devastating news that greets them,

It makes me wonder if hes not a regular intouch with family and they accept he pops up as and when,,,and they never worry too deeply about him,,,,knowing he will be intouch ,

I know Kay, it hasn't even been a week unfortunately so they may not suspect anything.

I wonder if he had a phone whether they can trace the numbers he called or called him. Surely they would look into that if they had the info.

There's a little bit more on here
