TRIBUTES have poured in for Worcester man James Dean, who died after a cardiac arrest in Lowesmoor.

Police are investigating the 34-year-old's death after he was found in cardiac arrest by members of the public at around 8am on Saturday March 14.

James’ family have been informed of his death.

A friend of James, Carl Faulkner, posted this on his Facebook page: “James Dean... I have no words, I am still in shock, we kicked a** in our early 20s and to be thinking in your 30s you’ve been taken away.

“My head is shot. Rest in peace my friend, you will never be forgotten, always in the memories I’ll forever have.”

Officers were called to a property on Lowesmoor in Worcester after James was discovered in a communal hallway.

Despite the best efforts of the emergency services, sadly James was pronounced dead at the scene.

Sarah Louise went to Bishop Perowne with James, and she said: “James was a lovely lad, always smiling and quite popular. Always had friends round him whether at school or out and about hanging with friends.

“He will be truly missed but never forgotten.”

His death is being treated as unexplained at this time and an investigation has been launched with a post-mortem being conducted today.

Police cordoned off the flat and a nearby bus stop after James was found in cardiac arrest.

Before police and paramedics arrived, mechanic Dan Humphries spent around 20-25 minutes giving James CPR when he found him unresponsive in the hallway,

The 32-year-old dad said the event has been a shock: “I can’t stop picturing his face. I wish I could have helped him.”

Police are appealing for anyone with information on James' death to come forward.

Detective Inspector Tony Garner said: “We are looking into James’ death and working into establishing exactly what has happened as there is no obvious explanation as to how he has sadly lost his life.

“If anyone was in or around Lowesmoor around 8am on Saturday morning, or has any information that may help with our enquiries, we would ask they get in contact with us.”

Anyone with information should call 101 quoting reference 150s of March 14. Alternatively, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
