Royal Mail worker found dead at Quedgeley delivery office this morning

The body of a Royal Mail worker was found in a delivery office toilet cubicle this morning.

The death is not being treated as suspicious but has been reported to Gloucestershire’s coroner Katie Skerrett.

The 53-year-old man was found by a colleague at the Royal Mail Gloucester South Delivery Office in Quedgeley at about 7.30am, and it’s believed he had been there overnight, a spokesman for the coroner said.

“There are no suspicious circumstances and at this stage it appears the gentleman has suffered some sort of medical event while in the toilet,” the spokesman said.

“A postmortem will be carried out on his body next Wednesday to determine cause of death.”

A Gloucestershire police spokeswoman said: “Police were called to Olympus Park in Gloucester shortly before 7.50am this morning following reports that the body of a man had been found.

“The death is being treated as non-suspicious at this time and the man’s next of kin have been informed.

“A file is being prepared for the coroner.”

Royal Mail has been asked for a comment but has not yet responded.
