A spokesman said: "It is believed that the man is Terrance Joseph Moores, 63, from the Stockport area of Cheshire."

His body was discovered on Friday evening on the coastal side of the A548 road between Gronant and Prestatyn.

The death remains unexplained pending the conclusion of the pathologist's investigation.

“I would like to thank all the members of public who kindly contacted us in response to our appeal and to the surrounding businesses who were also very helpful.”
