Police remain at busy Bradford petrol station for third day after unexplained death

A POLICE cordon remains in place at an ASDA petrol station in Bradford more than two days after a man was found dead.

Emergency services were called to the petrol station on Rooley Lane at around 6.20am on Monday, August 17, following reports of a concern for welfare.

A man in his 40s was found dead at the scene.

His death continues to be treated as unexplained by West Yorkshire Police.

The T&A has contacted police on several occasions since the incident was first reported, including again this morning, but officers say enquiries remain ongoing.

Cordon remains in place

The cordon was still in place on Wednesday, with a section of the forecourt remaining sealed off as investigations continue.

One passer-by expressed surprise that the scene had remained closed off for more than 48 hours.
