Poster campaign over bonfire body

Detectives said they were still awaiting the results of further tests

Posters are going up at truck stops across England to try to find a lorry driver who spoke to a man whose body was found in the remains of a bonfire.

David Langdon, 40, was discovered in the garden of his cottage in Wormelow, Herefordshire, on 14 August.

Officers said they believed Mr Langdon had been trying to travel abroad before his death.

He said he spoke to a lorry driver at a truck stop in Ross-on-Wye about his plans in the month before his death.

A post-mortem examination on Mr Langdon's body proved inconclusive.

West Mercia Police said they had been in touch with the Road Haulage Association to put the posters up across the country.

Further tests

A spokesman for the police force said: "We believe Mr Langdon had plans to travel to the continent, but we don't know if they were holiday plans or whether he was looking to move there.

"We know he spoke to a lorry driver about these at a truck stop at Ross at some point in the month leading up his death, and we're very keen to trace that driver."

Officers have said they want to speak to anyone who was in contact with Mr Langdon between 4 and 14 August.

Detectives are treating the death as "unexplained" and said they were still awaiting the results of further tests.

Three women and a man who were earlier arrested in connection with his death have since been released on bail.
