Main article content
Detectives are appealing for information to help identify a man that was sadly found dead in Stoke-on-Trent.
We were called to Elgood Lane, Goldenhill, on Saturday 25 January after a body was found in a derelict school.
Officers have been working hard to identify the man and have been carrying out a number of enquiries over the last few months, including extensive CCTV trawls, forensics and DNA tests.
While we are still treating the death as unexplained, we have not found any suspicious circumstances.
We’ve exhausted all lines of enquiry and are now appealing for information to see if anyone can help identify the man.
Our enquiries have placed him on High Street, Newcastle-under-Lyme on Thursday 2 January.
He is described as approximately 40-50 years old, of a large build and with a bald head and grey beard.
He was wearing a black Nike coat with a white hood, grey Nike tracksuit bottoms, light blue Nike trainers, a black cap and shoulder bag.
If you recognise the man in the picture, get in touch by calling 101 or use LiveChat on our website, quoting incident 665 of 25 January.
To report anonymously, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
