Police have issued a renewed appeal for help in identifying a man whose body was discovered in Southsea.
The male, believed to be between 50 and 60 years old, was found at Eastney East Battery on Boxing Day.
While police are not treating his death as suspicious, they are urging the public to come forward with any information that may reveal his identity.
He has been described as:
- White
- Medical examination suggests he may be aged between 50 and 60 years-old and that he may have previously had a heart attack.
- He had a gold tooth
- He was wearing blue Levi jeans, a pink woollen scarf, a blue zip Regatta fleece with a Balfour Beatty South East Territory logo, a white and blue striped shirt with a British Rail double arrow logo on the pocket and black Adidas trainers
- He was in possession of an inhaler, a house key with a keyring for a Portsmouth garage, and an older style video camera
Police Staff Investigator Sam Bird said: “We’ve carried out extensive enquiries in the last three months to identify this man, but lines of enquiry and forensic opportunities have not assisted this process. We want to be able to update the man’s family and friends, but need the public’s help to do so.
“Based on his possessions, especially the house key and key ring from a local garage we believe the man could have been a local resident, rather than having travelled here from elsewhere in the country. Do you know of a friend or neighbour that hasn’t been seen since Christmas who could be this man?
“We’re releasing images today of the area in which he was found and items of his clothing that could help to jog people’s memory.”
