Graham Cox was found by officers responding to a concern for welfare

A man whose body was found at a house prompting a murder investigation has been named.

The family of Graham Cox, 37, said they were "absolutely devastated and have no words to describe the pain we are feeling at this moment in time".

Mr Cox was found by officers responding to a concern for welfare in Barton Walk, Bolton, on Tuesday evening.

A 34-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder and later released on bail.

Det Insp Stuart Woodhead, of Greater Manchester Police, previously said officers were "keeping an open mind" and appealed for anyone with information to contact them.
