Dubai Police appeal for help identifying unclaimed body found near Ports Police Station

Investigators in Dubai are turning to residents for help putting a name to a man whose body has gone unclaimed. Authorities have released a photograph of the deceased in hopes that someone will recognize him.

The man was discovered within the area covered by the Ports Police Station, carrying no papers that could establish who he was. Officers have since moved his remains to the Forensic Medicine Department under the General Department of Forensics and Criminology, where specialists will work to establish how he died.

So far, no missing-person report has been filed that matches the individual, and no relatives or acquaintances have stepped forward.

Police are asking that anyone able to identify the man, or with details that might assist the case, reach the Dubai Police Call Centre by dialing 901. Those contacting the line from outside the emirate should use +971 4 901.
