Police named the deceased man today, Thursday, November 6, as Paul Lowry, 45, of Staveley.

A police spokesman said the death is not being treated as suspicious after a college staff member originally found Mr Lowry’s body.

Stuart Cutforth, Chesterfield College principal said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the deceased at this traumatic time.”

A police spokesman added that a file has been prepared for a pending Chesterfield coroner’s court inquest.
