Police have released an image of a man who was found dead in Furness earlier this year.
The man’s body washed up on Roa Island, south of Rampside, Barrow on April 30 and police have been unable to identify him.
Details about the man are sparse. He was found with no identification on his person and no identifying marks, scars or tattoos on his body.
A forensic artist has created an impression of what the man potentially looked like in life.
Detective Inspector Laura Nield said: “We are not treating the man’s death as suspicious.
“Our main goal is to identify the man for the benefit of his family – and we hope that there may be someone out there who sees the forensic artist’s image and is able to assist us in doing that.”
He is white, around 6ft and believed to be between 50 and 70. He may be of European rather than UK or Irish origin, however, it is unclear.
People are also asked to consider that the man may have been known to you as having a beard, or unshaven. It is believed he had recently shaved before his death.
Det Insp Nield said: “Whilst the amount of information we have about the unidentified man is limited, the image we have secured for release to the public is excellent quality and may hopefully lead to someone getting in touch with information which can assist.
“I would urge anyone who does suspect they have any information – no matter how small – to get in touch today.”
