VIDEO: Final moments of man whose body was found in the sea at Barrow – NW Evening Mail

POLICE released CCTV footage of a missing man whose body was found in Barrow on Sunday.

Jason Goldrick went missing from Blackpool Victoria Hospital on the night of 1 November.

CCTV placed him on Breck Road in Poulton at around 3.50am on November 2. This wasthe last confirmed sighting of Jason.

Police say that on the night he was last seen, Jason's appearance was "unusual" - he was wearing wet, muddy clothing with a prominent cut over his right eye.

Officers conducted extensive searches in and around the Blackpool Victoria Hospital area, as well as at a property in Park Road where Mr Goldrick lived, as part of the inquiry.

Det Ch Insp Pauline Stables, of Lancashire Polices Force Major Investigation Team, said at the time of his disappearance: "Jasons family has been left devastated by his disappearance.

"They just want to find him any piece of information, however seemingly insignificant, could be crucial to locating him.

"We know he has previously used outbuildings as a place to stay and we would urge people to check sheds and garages in case he has sought shelter."

The 50-year-old's body was recovered near Roa Island inBarrow, Cumbria, with police describing his death as "unexplained".

Emergency services converged near the lifeboat station on Roa Island just before 2pm on Sunday.

At least three police cars were on the scene, joined by Crime Scene Investigation officers and paramedics.

Furness Coastguard confirmed they were called out just before 2pm. A lifeboat crew was ready to go but later stood down.

One Roa Island resident watched the incident unfold after spotting the police turn up just before 2pm.

Its awful especially at this time of year... we have had a few similar incidents over the years, he said.

A couple who live nearby said they thought someone had spotted the body far out to sea from a boat.

Last month a 47-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder and later released under investigation.

A spokeswoman for Lancashire Police said: "Mr Goldrick's family have been informed and our thoughts are with them at this time."

A post-mortem examination will take place over the next few days, the force added.
