Initially, the police could not identify the body and no missing persons matched the description of the man.

A member of the public contacted the police yesterday after an appeal and, although formal identification procedures have yet to take place, officers are satisfied at this time they know who the man is.

Police would like to thank members of the public and media for their assistance with this appeal.
