Sadly, over the weekend, a person died at Preston station, and detectives are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
Police were called to Preston just after 1am on the 29th November, after a member of the public reported a casualty at the station to members of staff.
Paramedics also attended, but sadly, a person was pronounced dead at the scene, with enquiries ongoing.
Police are urgently appealing to find the man who first reported the incident, as he may be able to aid their investigation.
The man is believed to have travelled on a train to Blackpool North, which left Preston at 00:58.

But the BBC said a woman died, you said a man died, is this a mix up or have a man a woman died?
The info from the BTP has been updated so ive made sure just to put ‘person’ as we arent sure
We shall leave as a person, let’s hope they find out what happened, there is plenty of cctv around there.
There is something strange going on here as this happen early on Saturday morning to a woman as reported by the BBC and other local media outlets. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwypjy5e1wxo
The appeal is to find the man who initially raised the alarm, not the person involved 🙂
