Overview
- Dyfed-Powys Police released the image nearly 16 months after the body was recovered from Claerwen Reservoir and have circulated it via the Police National Computer and Interpol.
- The man was found by a walker on October 17, 2024, and is believed to have been in the water for up to 12 weeks with only a wetsuit recovered and no personal effects or identifying marks.
- Investigators describe him as white European, aged 30 to 60, about 6ft tall, and weighing roughly 202 to 220 pounds, with wetsuit sizing supporting the height and weight estimate.
- Face Lab at Liverpool John Moores University generated the depiction using CT data, post‑mortem and dental reports, noting features such as protruding teeth with a left‑sided crossbite.
- Police appeal for information from anyone who visited Claerwen Reservoir between July and October 18, 2024, or who recognises the image, while keeping an open mind about the cause of death.
