The brother of Lightening Seeds' Ian Broudie has been found dead after plunging from the top of Liverpool's Anglican cathedral. The body of Robert Broudie, 50, was discovered in the early hours of Tuesday morning on the roof above the main entrance to the building, having fallen 330 feet.
A solicitor at RM Broudie & Co specialising in criminal and human rights law, Broudie is thought to have hidden himself inside the cathedral yesterday afternoon. Police, who had been searching for him after he was reported missing, confirmed that there were no suspicious circumstances. An inquest will be opened later in the week.
A spokesman for the Diocese of Liverpool said: "We are shocked and very sad at what has happened. At the moment we are not clear about the events that led up to this tragic incident and we are looking into the matter with some urgency. Our thoughts and prayers are with all concerned."
