Relatives of a man found dead at a house have paid tribute to the "loving" father-of-three and keen DJ.

Tommy Oakes, 46, died after he was found "unresponsive" at the home in Barnett Avenue, Newton-le-Willows, on 4 February, police said.

Two women, aged 27 and 52, were arrested on suspicion of murder and later released on bail.

Mr Oakes' family said he had "lived a life full of love, laughter, fishing and music".

They said: "After his family, DJing is what he loved most.

"Everyone who knew him knew he had an ear for a good tune and could bring a smile to the face of anyone that had the pleasure of meeting him during his 46 years of life.

"He was, and will forever be, cherished by his three children, partner and siblings and will be deeply missed by all his family."
