To­ba­go po­lice are still try­ing to iden­ti­fy the man whose par­tial­ly de­com­posed body was found on a beach in Scar­bor­ough ear­li­er this week.

Se­nior Su­per­in­ten­dent of Po­lice Earl Elie con­firmed on Wednes­day that no one has come for­ward to iden­ti­fy the body, leav­ing po­lice at a stand­still.

“No one came for­ward to iden­ti­fy the body as yet,” he said.

“So we have, we have, we do have a re­port of any­body miss­ing in To­ba­go or any­thing like that, you know. So we just are hope­ful that some­body come comes forth, or some re­port of oth­ers in per­son, so that will as­sist us in bring­ing some kind of clo­sure to that in­ves­ti­ga­tion. So.”

The body was dis­cov­ered around 2.15 p.m. on Tues­day on the beach near Cas­tries Street.

Of­fi­cers of the Scar­bor­ough Po­lice Sta­tion were on pa­trol when they spot­ted what ap­peared to be a body ly­ing in sea­weed.

Checks con­firmed it was a man’s body.

Po­lice said it was in an ad­vanced state of de­com­po­si­tion and the face was un­recog­nis­able. The man’s eth­nic­i­ty re­mains un­known.

Of­fi­cers from the Crime Scene Unit processed the scene. The Dis­trict Med­ical Of­fi­cer vis­it­ed and pro­nounced the man dead at 4.43 p.m.

The body was tak­en to the Scar­bor­ough Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal Mor­tu­ary.

An au­top­sy will be con­duct­ed to de­ter­mine the cause of death.

Po­lice in­ves­ti­ga­tions are con­tin­u­ing.
