On Thursday, June 1, 2017, police responded to the report of a body found on the bank of the North Saskatchewan River just south of the Dawson Bridge. Upon arrival, officers located a deceased male.
Over the last twelve months, investigators with the EPS Missing Persons Unit have been working alongside the Office of the Edmonton Chief Medical Examiner to identify the male. After several attempts to identify him proved unsuccessful, officers are releasing composite sketches of what the male may have looked like in hopes that someone may recognize him.
The deceased male is described as 6’0” tall and may have had dark brown or black hair. At the time of his discovery, he was wearing dark coloured jeans with a brown leather belt, a black ¼ zip fleece sweater, a dark brown or black jacket and brown leather strapped sandals with black soles. Investigators are unsure of the male’s ethnicity and are subsequently releasing sketches with different skin tones.
The male was also carrying a unique silver alarm clock which investigators believe someone may recognize. Photos of it are included below.
At this time, officers do not believe the male’s death is suspicious in nature.
Anyone with information about the deceased male is asked to contact the EPS at 780-423-4567or #377 from a mobile phone. Anonymous information can also be submitted to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.p3tips.com/250.
