DETECTIVES are baffled after a dead body washed up on a British beach.
The mysterious male remains were found by a member of the public around midday on December 28 last year on Lilstock Beach in Somerset.
The body is estimated to have been in the water for between one and five days.
But the death remains unexplained and cops are appealing for help in solving the case.
Det Insp George Pettingell said: “We have been carrying out extensive enquiries, including forensic and DNA assessment, to try and identify the man, however as yet we have been unable to do so.
“He is white, of large build, estimated to be aged in his 40s or 50s and believed to be of either Croatian or Bosnian heritage.
“He had a shaved head and was wearing a black jacket, black jumper, red trousers and black Nike trainers.
“We have also been working closely with neighbouring forces and the coroner as we continue to try and find out who he was and update any family members.
“If you have any information you think might help us identify him, please get in touch.”
