Gardaí in Co Wicklow are renewing their appeal for the public’s assistance in trying to identify a man whose body was found on Bray beach last month.

He is described as white, approximately early 40s, blue eyes, very slim build, with dark brown hair greying around the temple. His height is 6ft 1in, or 186cm, and weight 60.1kg, or 9.5 stone.

He had no marks or tattoos on his body, which was found on the beach on Monday, March 27th.

Pictures of his clothes have been released. These comprise of a green and brown camouflage jacket, blue jeans and black runner boots. He was found with a brown and green camouflage rucksack. A pair of glasses was also found.

The man’s body was found by a passer-by out for an early morning stroll on Bray seafront who noticed it had been washed up on the rocks. The passer-by alerted gardaí, who took the body to Loughlinstown Hospital for examination.

He had nothing on him that would help an identification — no bank card, social welfare card, driver’s licence or mobile phone. The state of the body suggests the man died no more than a few days before he was found and, therefore, must have entered the water relatively close to where he was found.

There is no indication the man had been killed, with no marks on his body to suggest a violent death.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact Bray Garda station on 01-6665300, The Garda Confidential Line 1800 666 111 or any Garda station.
