Earlsdon railway bridge 1993: Can you identify this victim?

A man found in Coventry is among people police hope to identify after their bodies were found on the rail network.

Police are hoping to use artist's impressions to identify some of the unclaimed bodies found on Britain's rail network in the last 35 years.

Artist Sharon McDonagh has drawn pictures of 20 of the deceased.

None of them is believed to have been the victim of foul play and most were hit by trains.

Detective Chief Superintendent Miles Flood said: "It is likely there are still relatives who may recognise them and thought they had moved away."

The images are being released by the British Transport Police and the National Police Improvement Agency (NPIA) in a unique attempt to close the files on fatalities stretching back to 1975.

Anyone with any information about these people is asked to call British Transport Police on 0121 634 5613 quoting the drawing reference number.

Most of the 20 images relate to people whose bodies were found in the London area - although they may have come from anywhere in the country - while one was found in Coventry and another one in Cornwall.

I vaguely remember it being either that one or Beechwood Avenue.
