UPDATE: Wednesday 2pm – Police have named the cyclist found dead in a ditch as Allen Nicholas Meade (55) of West Drove North, Gedney Hill.

Mr Meade’s body was discovered in a ditch in West Drove North, Gedney Hill, at about 9.30pm on Monday. It is believed he had been dead for several hours.

An inquest is likely to be opened by the coroner tomorrow (Thursday) and it will be adjourned date to be fixed to allow time for the completion of police enquires.
