A 91-year-old man with "no one in the world" is dying at Belfast Royal Victoria Hospital .

Police were called to George Walker's East Belfast home after a concerned niece of his neighbour became concerned for his wellbeing. 

Kate Tanahill noticed that the curtains of Mr Walker's house where he lay sick and alone, had remained closed for days.

Now the Dunmurry woman is his only hospital visitor - but she is hoping to find his family before Geordie, as he is affectionately known, takes his last breath.
