Ah I see well thank you for letting me and everyone else know, appreciated. I have actually just sent an email to the reporter who covered the story to ask if he knew of any arrangements being made and if not whether or not he would be in a position to contact the club in an effort to arrange something. This was done only out of respect for Kenny and prior to me finding out what you have just told me. Thanks again.
RIP Kenny

 

That was Kenny for you. Couldn't bear the thought of missing the game.

 

Police appealing for more information and for anyone to come forward.

APPEAL: Enquiries into death of man in Barnsley continue

Detectives investigating the discovery of the body of a man in Barnsley are appealing for witnesses to come forward.

Emergency services were called to Smithies Pond at around 8.30am on Sunday 13 January, where the body of 56-year-old Kenneth Morse was found. He was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.

His death is currently being treated as unexplained and as enquiries continue, officers are now appealing for information, as T/Detective Chief Inspector Simon Palmer explains.

“We continue to piece together Mr Morse’s movements prior to his death and we know that the he arrived in Barnsley by public transport on the morning of Saturday 12 January with the intention of attending the Barnsley football match. He left the Courthouse Public House at around 10.20am.

“Mr Morse was later found with a head injury at around 2pm in an underpass on Pontefract Road. He was taken to hospital in Barnsley but left later that evening, before being formally discharged. The CCTV image shows him leaving hospital that day.

“A missing person enquiry was then launched before his body was found the following morning. His family continue to be supported by specialist officers.”

A post-mortem examination was carried out however further results are awaited in order to establish the cause of death.
T/DCI Palmer added: “We are keen to hear from anyone who saw Mr Morse after he left the Courthouse Public House until he was found on Pontefract Road on Saturday 12 January.

“If you have any information that could assist with our enquiries, please call 101 quoting incident number 246 of 13 January 2019. You can also speak to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.”

As Mr Morse had been reported missing prior to his death, the incident has been referred to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), as is routine in such cases.

 

An an educated guess that would have been the case. Loyal from top to toe. RIP Kenny.

 

So sad, i just hope the police can piece things from earlier in the day together to find out what happened in the first place to end up in hospital. Where he was found is a fair way from hospital and going away from town/ground, but guess it all depends on time he left hospital and where he was heading and if he was still feeling affects of whatever happened ealier in the day.

 

RIP mate always at all the away games I attended.

 

Shocking .

RIP

 

Saw him about at a fair few away games.

RIP.

 

RIP
Kenny Morse.

 

Had many encounter with this chap. Lovely guy, heart of gold and a face you would be garunteed to see at a game.

Remember Bristol away last year with the free coach, it was an ice rink on Midland road, he was sliding all over so went to help him, ever since always been acknowledged in the NW corner at home games.

Saw an ambulance at the bottom of the one way street after game satirday with a crowd gathered, wonder if that was him...

Top man RIP

 

Known to myself and friends simply as Carrier Bag Man. Never went to an away game where I didn't see him.

RIP.

 

RIP Kenny will miss you always had a smile when you saw him

 

RIP Kenny

Elleb, Deaf Geoff & family

 

R.I.P Kenny

 

A really nice guy he obviously had his problems but no harm in him I spoke to Kenny at many away games and he was a very knowledgeable chap always happy and I think he liked a drink but who doesn’t RIP Kenny you are a Legend.

 

Really sad to hear. As with many others always a fixture at every far flung ground we were at. Can remember him going back to the early '90's

Rip

 

RIP Kenny.

Whilst I didn't know him personally, I like many other posters have seen him around home and away games for decades. Think I first recall seeing him on a CTC 73 away trip to Ipswich or Pompey all those years ago late 80s or early 90s.

Sad news. RIP.

 

RIP.

I am sure I have stood/sat next to him at away games.

Decent chap and a true Bantam.

 

RIP Kenny dedicated fan.
