But The Sun tracked him down to an address in East Yorkshire.

He emerged to walk the dogs and was pictured deep in conversation with an unidentified woman.

We asked him if he had any comment for the families caught up in the investigation.

He quickly pulled his hood over his baseball cap and rushed into the property, telling us: “I’ve got nothing to say.”

Bush and his daughter were arrested on suspicion of preventing lawful burial and fraud.

Police retrieved 35 bodies and ashes from his Legacy Funeral Directors in Hull.

They suspect relatives were charged for cremations that never took place.

The case has prompted calls for more regulation.

Julie Dunk, from the Institute of Cemetery and Crematorium Management, said: “Anyone can set up as a funeral director with no oversight and no training.”
