PSNI Attempt to Trace Two Men After Man's Sudden Death
Police are attempting to trace two men who are believed to have been in the company of Brendan McKernan in Belfast last month.
Mr McKernan, 31, died in hospital on 23 February after he collapsed at a fast food restaurant five days earlier.
Police believe the two individuals may be able to help them.
Mr McKernan's death is not being treated as suspicious at this stage.
Detective Inspector McCambridge said: "We know Brendan was in the company of two men at a fast food restaurant on Donegall Place at around 6.15pm on 18 February. We are keen to identify and locate these males.
"At this time Brendan's death is not being treated as suspicious and we are seeking to speak with the two individuals as we work to establish the circumstances leading up to his death.
"We are also keen to locate a phone known to have been in the possession of the deceased but which was not found with him. The Nokia touchscreen device may contain evidence valuable to police but also contains precious photographs that the family wish to have returned.
"Detectives can be contacted at Musgrave Reactive and Organised Crime by calling 101."
