Our Liverpool: tributes to popular Litherland character

Hello and welcome to Our Liverpool.

Tributes and condolences have been coming in today after police confirmed the identities of two men who died in separate incidents in recent weeks. Enquiries are ongoing to trace the next-of-kin of Andrew Neil Sculley, whose body was found in the water at Salthouse Dock on Sunday, April 9.

Elsewhere, David Francis, known locally as the "Litherland Running Man," died after being hit by a stolen Audi in Netherton on Thursday last week. David was known for running around the Sefton area, often in shorts despite the cold weather, before he was killed.
