Detectives are asking the public to help piece together what happened to a man whose body part was mysteriously discovered on a beach.
A fisherman found one of Colin Wood’s body parts near the Wellington Pier, on a beach in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, at around 1.30am on Wednesday morning.
Police took the 53-year-old’s remains to the James Paget University Hospital in Gorleston where DNA tests were conducted.
Mr Wood was identified and his family was informed.
Officers know Mr Wood lived around Great Yarmouth and had ‘limited friends and family in recent months’.
But it is still unclear when or how Mr Wood died and investigators are treating the death as unexplained.
