Found on Saddleworth Moor with no phone, no wallet and no way of identifying him.

This grainy film shows david lytton at a wedding. Theres very little footage of him and his identity was a mystery for so long the best image available of his face was an artists impression. He travelled from a different world, 5,500 miles away in pakistan. We now know that although he was from london, he had been living here in a suburb of lahore since 2006. Translation he was our neighbour. He was a nice person, keeping himself to himself. He never bothered anybody. Local lads used to tease him at times. He flew from lahore to heathrow in london. He travelled from Ealing Broadway station to eustoon and manchester piccadilly. He visited shops and bought a return train ticket. He went 14 miles to the foot of Saddleworth Moor, walked into a pub and asked for directions to the top of the mountain. The following morning his body was discovered it. With a medicine bottle, he had died of rare strychnine poisoning. A cyclist found the body, there was no mobile phone, wallet, Driving Licence or credit cards. No clue as to who he was. The mystery took detectives on a year long, worldwide search. Through a metal implant police found he had surgery in pakistan. They combed Flight Records and finally found his name. He with and finally found his name. He with aa and finally found his name. He with a a private guy. He kept everybody departmentalised from each other, all of us. He learnt to do that from a young age. I adored david. He was very, very different. His family say they are not aware of any link he had to Saddleworth Moor. Although we now know who he is, the reason why he went there and died remains a mystery.
