Calgary police say they have exhausted all traditional methods of identifying the body of a dead man who was found in the Bow River in June.
“Although his death is not believed to be criminal, we are releasing a composite sketch in hopes of generating information that may lead to his identification and notification of next of kin,” police said in a news release Monday.
The man, believed to be between 30 and 50 years old, was found on June 12 on the east side of the Bow River, approximately 100 meters south of Calf Robu Bridge.
