Sergeant Craig Wheeler, from the Beds, Cambs and Herts Road Policing Unit, said: “We are unable to identify who the deceased is therefore I am asking for help from members of the public.

“He is a white man, about 5’ 8”, very slim with mousy brown hair which is thinning, and light-coloured facial hair and he was wearing dark clothing and flip flops.

“He has several distinctive tattoos, in particular a scorpion on his right shoulder, a Chinese dragon on his left shoulder, a rose on the left side of his chest, the name ‘Ada’ on his left bicep and four names on his right forearm which are not legible.
