The death is currently being treated as unexplained and enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances

The man is described as being white, between 20 to 30-years-old and of thin build.

He has the word 'Stephen' tattooed on his inner right forearm and a design including the word 'Mum' and a green rose on the outer left forearm.
