Family of man found dead in Workington thank community for support

The family of a man found dead in a Workington home earlier this week have thanked the community for their support.

Joseph Dunn, 35, of Beech Court, was reported missing on September 9 and emergency services began to search for him.

Friends and family of Mr Dunn also began searching the area.

However, Mr Dunn was found in a home on Newlands Gardens on September 13. A woman was also found dead at the house, but she has yet to be formally identified. Their deaths are being treated as non-suspicious.

Mr Dunn’s family said: “We would just like to send our thanks to the police, West Cumbria Search and Rescue, the other services and all the volunteers who took part in the search for Joe Dunn.

“The support from the community has been overwhelming and it has been amazing to see how everyone pulled together during our time of need.”
