30.10.2023 - 14:27 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Police are trying to identify a man who was found 'washed up' on Roa Island in Cumbria.
The man's body was found in the village just south of Rampside at Barrow-in-Furness on April 30 this year, Cumbria Police said. His death is not being treated as suspicious.
So far, police have been unable to identify him with details on him 'sparse'. He had no identification on him and had no distinguishing marks, scars or tattoos on his body.

The man is white, around 6ft tall and believed to be aged around 50 to 70. Officers said he may be of European rather than UK or Irish origin, however, it is unclear.
He may have had a beard, but it is believed he had recently shaved before his death. As part of the appeal, police have released a picture created by a forensic artist of 'what the man potentially looked like in life'.
Anyone who recognises him, or who has any information, is being urged to get in touch. Detective Inspector Laura Nield at Cumbria Police 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."
She added: "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."
