A toxicology reports has confirmed the circumstances surrounding the death of a mystery man who was found dead on Saddleworth Moor just 24 hours after catching a train from London.
The mystery man aged between 65 and 75, bought one-way ticket from Ealing Broadway to Euston on December 11, 2016.
Speculations
concerning his death ranged from him being a victim of a 1949 air crash
at the site, to the moor having some sort of meaning to him.
The
poison, a white powder which is highly toxic, is a pesticide used to
kill rodents and birds and is usually inhaled, injected or taken orally.
There appears to be a mystery concerning his death. Detective Sergeant John Coleman,
said that while the toxicology report had revealed the cause of the
man's death, it is still unknown as to why and how he ended up on
Saddleworth Moor.
One previous explanation was
that the man was a survivor of the 1949 plane crash on the moor -which
claimed 24 lives - and had returned to the scene of the tragedy to take
his own life.
More investigations are going on.
With the help of the public, the police has hopes it would get ahead of
the mystery in good time.
