His family said: “Michael was much-loved by all the family. He has been taken away from us too soon and will be missed dearly.”

Sgt Phil Baxendale said: “This is a tragic and extremely sad incident where a family have lost a loved one just before Christmas.

“My thoughts are with them at this most difficult time. They are being supported by specially trained officers.

“We know that Lancaster was busy at that time with revellers out celebrating the festivities and so I would appeal to anyone who may have seen or heard anything to make contact with us at their earliest opportunity as we need to get to the bottom of what exactly happened.”
