Paul Bennett

A man who had tried to have sex with a postbox while drunk has been found dead.

Paul Bennett was fined and ordered to attend an alcohol-awareness course last month after he was caught in the lewd act outside a shopping centre.

The 45-year-old’s body was found behind Chinese restaurant Shanghai Palace in Wigan, in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Police are not treating the death as suspicious.

A woman spotted Bennett performing a sex act and rubbing himself up and down the red mail box while shouting ‘wow’ in September 2014.

The witness contacted the police as Bennett pulled his pants up and checked his reflection before leaving.

The incident occurred after Bennett was involved in a drunken row with a woman.
