Relatives or friends of a man who passed away recently are being asked to get in touch with the City of Wolverhampton Council's Court of Protection Team so that his funeral can be arranged.

Mark Patrick Donnellan, who was 61, had been living in the Dunstall area of Wolverhampton and was born in Burton-upon-Trent.

Anyone who is related to Mr Donnellan, or has any information which may help trace his relatives, is asked to please call the Court of Protection Team Protection and Funerals Officer Elaine Thursfield on 07771 836846 or email elaine.thursfield@wolverhampton.gov.uk or Protection and Funerals Officer Diane Washbrook on 07967 769826. Alternatively, please email court.ofprotection@wolverhampton.gov.uk.

The council makes appeals of this nature as it believes that families and acquaintances of the deceased should be notified and be given the opportunity to get involved with the funeral arrangements, should they wish to.
