Authorities are seeking assistance to identify a man found in floodwater near Beal, North Yorkshire, as investigations continue.
Beal: A tragic situation unfolded when a man’s body was discovered in floodwater. This happened in a village in North Yorkshire, and it’s quite concerning.
The police are reaching out to the community for help. They found the man near Intake Lane, close to Eggborough and Knottingley, on January 6. It’s a tough time for everyone involved.
He’s described as a white male, likely in his 50s or 60s, with short light brown hair and stubble. He was dressed in brown walking boots, blue jeans, and a colorful knitted jumper. There’s a chance he also had on a dark green waterproof coat.
Authorities think he might have entered the water just a day or two before he was found. A police spokesperson mentioned that they’re doing everything they can to identify him.
Despite their efforts, including working with other police departments, they haven’t been able to find out who he is. He was found without any ID or personal items, which makes it even harder.
They’re asking anyone who might know someone missing or has any information to come forward. If you have any footage from the area, like CCTV or dashcam, it could really help.
If you can assist, please reach out to North Yorkshire Police at 101 and mention reference number 12250003019. Every bit of information counts.
