Do you know this unknown suspected vagrant found dead on Mitcham Common, South-West London at the start of the year?
Detectives have released this 3D image compiled by a craniofacial identification expert at the centre of Anatomy & Human Identification at Dundee University.
The partially decomposed body of the man, who is believed to be at least 50 years old, was found by a member of the public on January 17.
Extensive enquiries and previous appeals have been unsuccessful to identify the man – prompting a fresh bid with the help of this image.
Detective Chief Inspector Mark Dunne, said: “I would appeal to the public to take a good look at the image and contact the police if they think it resembles anyone who perhaps they haven't seen recently.”
Forensic tests indicate the man probably died in September/October 2010.
A post-mortem examination could not determine a cause of death.
The man is described as white, between 5'7 - 5'9 tall with short dark hair.
He had poor dental health and a number of his teeth were missing.
Detectives believe he may have been a homeless person in the south London area.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the incident room on 020 8721 4906 or to remain anonymous, Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
