The BC Coroners Service and West Vancouver Police are requesting the public’s assistance in identifying a male whose remains were discovered in the water near the shore of Burrard Inlet not far from Lighthouse Park.

His body was found Sept. 1, 2011, and he is believed to have died within a very few days of his discovery.

This individual is Caucasian and was likely between 50 and 70 years of age at the time of his death. He is approximately 1.79 metres (5 ft., 9 in.), with a weight close to 91 kilograms (200 pounds). His badly decayed front teeth would have been obvious to acquaintances when laughing or smiling.

He was balding, with medium-length white hair. He had a white, trimmed, full beard with salt-and-pepper areas on the chin and sides. His moustache and eyebrows were darker coloured. At the time of his death he was wearing dark pants; a vertically striped long-sleeved shirt in colours of black, gold, rust and green; black socks; and unique black boxer shorts with a polar bear pattern.

Please see the Coroners Service website (Case File 2011-0275-0257) to view and download photos of the clothing and a facial reconstruction drawing at: www.pssg.gov.bc.ca/coroners/unidentified-cases/index.htm

We would encourage media to use the images in this case as we believe the facial reconstruction to be accurate and the clothing distinctive.

If you have any information regarding the identity of this male, please contact the BC Coroners Service Identification Tip Line at 1 877 660-5077, West Vancouver Police 604 925-7300 or CRIME STOPPERS 1 800 222-TIPS (8477).

The mandate of the BC Coroners Service is to ensure that a thorough and independent inquiry is made into all sudden and unexplained deaths.
