Family pay tribute to man found dead in Stafford

The family of a man who was found dead in Stafford have paid tribute to him.

We were called to an address on Oberton Gardens at 9.15pm on 21 November following concerns for a man. Sadly, Lee Harrison, 42, from Stafford, was pronounced dead by paramedics at the scene.

A 31-year-old man, from Stafford, was arrested on suspicion of murder and later released on conditional police bail while the investigation continues.

In a tribute, Lee’s family said ‘he touched so many people’s hearts.’

“We have been contacted by so many friends who remember Lee as we do, which has been comforting at this overwhelming time.”

Detective Inspector Ian Fitzgerald said: “I can’t imagine what Lee’s family are feeling right now. My thoughts and condolences are very much with them as they continue to come to terms with their tragic loss. 

“Our investigation is very much ongoing and I’d ask people not to speculate about what happened. I’d like to thank those who have already come forward with information and those who have engaged with officers in the area.”
