Appeal issued to uncover identity of man found on riverbank

A missing people charity is appealing for help with the case of an unidentified man found dead on the bank of the River Avon 27 years ago. The charity Locate International said the man was believed to have been found after falling from the Clifton Suspension Bridge, but it is possible he had links to Wales.

The body of the man, who the charity is referring to as the Clifton Suspension Bridge man, was discovered on May 19, 1996. But despite the length of time since his death and a considerable amount of public appeals, he has never been named.

Using an old passport picture which the man had in his possession at the time, a new depiction roughly portrays how he might have looked at the time of his death in the hope he can be “reunited with his name”.
