Detectives have renewed appeals to identify the loved ones of a man who died after collapsing with a head wound in Waterloo.
The man, who is estimated to have been in his 40s or 50s, died in hospital after a passer-by saw him on Coral Street on May 23 last year and called 999.
His death is not being treated as suspicious and is thought to have been caused by a head injury.
Releasing a new computer-generated image of the man, police said on Wednesday that previous attempts to find his relatives had proved unsuccessful.
Fingerprint and DNA databases both in the UK and abroad have also failed to provide a breakthrough in the case.
Detective Constable Kieran Mulvaney said: “It is very sad that over a year has gone by and despite a previous media appeal and various other tactics, we have not been able to find anyone with a connection to this man.
“His death, which was caused by a head injury, is not being treated as suspicious, although at the time extensive enquiries were conducted to determine if this was a factor.
“We’re continuing our efforts to find out who he was as someone will be missing him and I am sure they are incredibly worried that they haven’t heard from him.
“This won’t be the news they’d be hoping for, but it is important we do everything we can to identify this unknown man. Please contact us if you have any information which could help.”
When he was found, the man was wearing a black Columbia jacket, navy Puma Sweatshirt, black Armani T-shirt, black tracksuit bottoms with Sketcher trainers and was not in possession of any personal items or identification documents.
He did not have any tattoos or identifying marks.
DC Mulvaney added: “We are currently using other techniques to learn more about the man, including where he came from.
“Other policing avenues are still being carried out in the hope that we will get a break in the case.”
