The identity of a man whose body was found in Goathorn Woods in Studland on Saturday 1 July this year remains a mystery with officers carrying out enquiries on behalf of HM Coroner for Dorset appealing for information.

There is nothing to indicate the death is suspicious.

Police constable Stuart Wilson, of Wareham Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “We have been carrying out enquiries on behalf of the coroner, including DNA checks, but so far we have not been able to work out an identity for the man.

“This is a very sad incident and we are keen to follow all lines of enquiry available to us so that the man can be identified and his family can be made aware.

“A tent was located near to where the body was found, which contained a diary with images inside. We are now issuing the images to the public in a bid to find out if anyone recognises the people in the pictures as this may lead us to identifying the man.

“If you have any information that may assist our efforts, please get in contact with us.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Dorset Police at www.dorset.police.uk or by calling 101, quoting occurrence number 55230102358.
