Sussex Police have released pictures of tattoo designs in a bid to identify a man whose body was found on Rottingdean beach in East Sussex. The man, thought to be in his late 50s or early 60s, was discovered at the water's edge on the morning of October 11 after a call tipped off emergency services. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Tattoos include dragon and trident
The force has now published five photographs showing tattoos on the man's chest and limbs. The tribal-style ink includes depictions of a dragon, a trident-style weapon, flowers, and what appears to be flames. Police are hoping someone will recognise the artwork and help put a name to the body.
Appeal for public help
So far, authorities have been unable to identify the man, so they are asking the public for assistance. Anyone who believes they know his identity has been asked to contact Sussex Police, quoting reference 313 of 11/10.
