THE body of a 62-year-old nurse was found by police officers who broke into his room at the Maidstone Nurses Home in Hermitage Lane at Barming.

Police were called after colleagues reported they had not seen Joseph Babalola for a number of days.

A post mortem examination revealed he had died from natural causes.

Mr Babalola had been working as a locum at Heathside, an assessment unit in Coxheath, for West Kent NHS and Social Care Trust.
