Police renew appeal for help identifying body found in Firth of Forth

Police are looking for information to help identify the man, who was wearing a t-shirt like this one.

The man’s body was recovered from the river near Culross on Wednesday, August 5 and he remains unidentified.

Officers are again appealing for any information which might assist them in identifying the man, whose death is being treated as unexplained.

A report has gone to the Procurator Fiscal.

Detective Inspector Karen Muirhead said: “The man is described as being white, about 5’10” tall, aged between 40 years and 60 years, and has dark hair which was beginning to go grey.

"When found, he was wearing black coloured Nike make trainers, black coloured ¾ length Lonsdale make jogging bottoms, a black coloured Lonsdale make hooded top and a khaki green coloured Primark make t-shirt with DOWNTOWN and the number 1989 on it, with a skyline image.

"We have checked all our missing person reports and circulated the details across other police forces nationally, however this has drawn a blank so far.

"I would appeal to anyone who may recognise this description, or who may know of someone who fits this description and who may not have been seen for a while to get in touch with us through the 101 number.

"Callers should quote the reference number 0602 of August 5, 2020.

"It is important to us that we trace family members and have this man returned to his family as soon as possible.

"It is sad that so far we have not been able to make contact with any family or friends of the dead man to let them know what has happened to him.”
