Coroner's report Birmingham Mail or Despatch 1952

[mrsruz]

Looking for newspaper report on the death of Percival Royle Peers. He was apparently last seen alive on 23 Jan 1952 & was found dead on the 29th January. His last known address was in 1950 at 6 back 198 St Stephens St. As far as I now, he was unmarried.
He was born 1873 in Birmingham.

Any help would be much appreciated.

This may be a bit too recent for the British Newspaper Archive.....you may have to try a main library in Birmingham [obviously not easy if you don't live near].

ADDED: Irrelevant but this may be his birth:
Birmingham Daily Post 30 May 1874 Births
PEERS: On the 28th inst, the wife of Percival Peers, of Coxwell Road Ladywood, of a son

Thanks for that info.
That would be his birth announcement.

No chance of getting to the library as I live in Spain.
He was a 3rd cousin & the circumstances of his death just seem so sad, it aroused my curiosity.

Thanks again for taking the time to reply.
