A man is seriously ill in hospital after he was discovered with head injuries in the back garden of a house in Delph.
Joshua Troops was found at the property on Delph New Road last Sunday, 20 March, at 11am. He had a fractured skull, and remains in a coma.
Police say Joshua may have fallen off a wall, or been assaulted. They’re appealing for anyone who might have seen him on Delph New Road between 10am and 11am last Sunday to get in touch.

Joshua, who’s 22, was wearing a grey and white hoodie, black tracksuit bottoms and trainers.
