A homeless man who died alone on a patch of wasteland yards from busy shops has still not been identified more than six months after his body was found.
Merseyside Police and Knowsley Council are still looking for anyone who knew the man, who had been sleeping in a tent, after a member of the public noticed his body on a patch of wasteland off Dinas Lane, Huyton, on January 28. Investigations carried out at the time including examination of CCTV footage found no suspicious circumstances surrounding his death.
When the ECHO visited the scene around a fortnight later, a collapsed tent, a foam mat and a backpack remained on the patch of ground, close to a row of shops and the junction with busy dual carriageway Liverpool Road. Police described the man as middle-aged, and said he was clutching a brown jacket when he was found.
