Despite extensive inquiries, including the distribution of leaflets by neighbourhood policing teams in Littlehampton and Bognor, the middle aged man remains unidentified.

A post mortem revealed injuries on the body were consistent with a fall from some height, and there were no other separate underlying injuries. Further toxicology tests will be carried out. There is still no evidence of foul play but the death remains unexplained.

Detective Inspector Jim McKnight said: "We would like to hear from anyone who knows who the dead man is. Someone must know that a relative, friend, work colleague or neighbour is missing. He was aged between 35 and 50, about 16 stone in weight, with short brown hair, which was receding. He was wearing a yellow polo shirt, a black Berghaus sleeveless fleece, dark blue Yves St Laurent jacket, blue jeans and tan coloured ankle boots. He had also had a heart operation resulting in the insertion of a replacement aorta valve, which left him with a 4” scar on the centre of his chest.

"We are anxious to find out who this man is, but my team of detectives also needs to establish his movements prior to his death, where he had been and who he was with. Anyone who can help should contact police on 0845 60 70 999 quoting Operation Westridge, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
