Yorkshire police are appealing for further information regarding the death of Sean Finney, a young boxing prospect who was found dead at a caravan park earlier this month.
The 23-year-old from Kirkaldy, Scotland, who was enjoying a night out with family and friends at The Ranch Caravan Club in North Yorkshire, was discovered unconscious by police at 3:12am on Sunday (1 December).
The police, who pronounced the young man dead at the scene, after numerous attempts at resuscitation failed, have opened lines of enquiry to try and determine the reason and cause for Sean Finney’s tragic and untimely death.
Having interviewed three men aged 27, 30 and 49 in connection with the death, police are refusing to rule out the possibility of an assault having taken place the night before the fatal discovery.
Appealing to the public, Detective Chief Inspector Maria Taylor said: “I understand that there was a large number of people at the caravan park on the evening of Saturday 30 November 2013.
“If you were present and have not yet come forward, I urge you to contact the police straight away, as you may have vital information that could help my investigation.
“Anyone who can assist the enquiry should contact North Yorkshire Police on 101, select option 1 and pass the information to the Force Control Room.”
Mike Keane, Sean Finney’s club coach and current Boxing Scotland National Coach said that the young man was highly talented and had a bright future ahead of him.
“He will be sadly missed at the Kingdom Boxing Club which he attended from 10 years of age. When Sean was on form he was world class,” he added.
