A MAN found dead in his driveway by a paperboy has been identified by police.

Ronald Wellington, 84, was discovered lying near the front door of his home in Dale Wood Road, Petts Wood.

The 14-year-old paperboy found Mr Wellington at about 7.30am on Sunday.

The death was initially treated as suspicious with police sealing off the property, where Mr Wellington lived alone, while forensic officers investigated.

But a post-mortem examination held yesterday, revealed he had died of a heart attack.
