Investigation underway after man stabbed to death in Blackpool

An investigation is underway following the discovery of a man with stab wounds at The Garfield Hotel in Blackpool.

Officers from Lancashire Police found 59-year-old Kevin Price dead inside the resort on Springfield Road, on Sunday, following a concern for welfare call.

The death is being treated as a homicide and the Force Major Investigation Team has launched an investigation.

Mr Price’s family are being supported by specially trained officers.

Detective chief inspector Simon Pritchard said: “First and foremost my thoughts are with Kevin Price’s loved ones at this time.

“A murder investigation is underway and enquiries are ongoing. I would appeal to anyone who can help us to get in touch.

“I am especially keen to hear from anyone who may have seen any suspicious activity around The Garfield Hotel on Springfield Road between Thursday last week and Sunday. Even if you think the information you have is insignificant, please come and speak to us and let us be the judge as it could help us piece together the events that led to Kevin’s tragic death.”

You can contact police on 101 quoting log 0350 of November 10. Alternatively contact independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
