An e-fit picture has been launched by police of a person who died on board an plane to the UK, as they attempt to establish the sufferer.
His physique was found within the undercarriage of the aircraft which landed at Gatwick Airport at round 4am on 7 December from The Gambia.
He is believed to be aged in his 20s or 30s and knowledge has been shared with authorities within the west African nation.
The Tui flight had been inbound from Banjul after taking off shortly earlier than 10pm native time.
Officers are investigating the case as a way to formally establish the person, and are working in partnership with the High Commissioner for Gambia, Interpol, and HM Coroner.
Detective Inspector Darren Lillywhite, of Sussex Police, stated: “This was a tragic case, and we are working to establish the identity of the man found deceased.
“Somewhere, this man could have relations or family members who have no idea what has occurred to him.”
Detectives are hoping to establish the person for an inquest which can present solutions for his family members.
Mr Lillywhite added: “In particular, we are seeking contact from anyone in the UK that may have been expecting to meet a friend or family member who failed to arrive in December, as well as anyone in The Gambia or neighbouring countries who may have knowledge about an individual who made travel plans to come to the UK or Europe.”
Anyone who recognises him is requested to contact Sussex Police.
