Police are appealing for information after a man's body was found on Porthcawl beach.

South Wales Police say despite extensive inquiries since the discovery on Saturday morning - they're still working to try and identify him.

The man is described as white, 5ft 6in tall, of thin to average build, with short grey hair.

He has no apparent distinctive markings such as tattoos, and was wearing black Mishansha trainers and a grey jumper with black stripes across the chest area.

Checks are also being made with neighbouring police forces for reports of any missing men matching the description.

Detective Inspector Dan Michel, from South Wales Police, said: “In ideal circumstances we would want to establish the man’s identity and contact next of kin before making a public appeal.

“But despite carrying out extensive enquiries since his body was found on Saturday morning and we are still no closer to finding out who he is.

“We would appeal for anyone with information to please contact South Wales Police.”
