Police need help identifying mysterious man found dead with head injury last year

Police are still trying to trace the loved ones of a man who was found collapsed with a head injury and later died in hospital last year.

The man, who is estimated to have been in his forties or fifties, was found by a passer-by in Coral Street, Waterloo, on May 23, 2022.

The Met have confirmed that the man’s death was caused by a head injury but the circumstances are not being treated as suspicious.

A computer generated image of the man has been released again in the hope that someone may recognise him and come forward with information.

Police said when the man was found he was wearing a black Columbia jacket, navy Puma Sweatshirt, black Armani T-shirt, black tracksuit bottoms with Sketcher trainers and was not in possession of any personal items or identification documents. He had no tattoos or identifying marks.

Detective Constable Kieran Mulvaney said: “It is very sad that over a year has gone by and despite a previous media appeal and various other tactics, we have not been able to find anyone with a connection to this man.

“We’re continuing our efforts to find out who he was as someone will be missing him and I am sure they are incredibly worried that they haven’t heard from him. 

“This won’t be the news they’d be hoping for, but it is important we do everything we can to identify this unknown man. Please contact us if you have any information which could help”.

Police are urging anyone with information to contact 101, quoting CAD 6746/23MAY22 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
