The family of an ‘unknown’ man found dead in Trowbridge have now been informed by police.

Last Friday, officers were unable to identify a man found hanged in a tree at Biss Meadows Country Park and had appealed for the public to contact them with any information, but his next of kin was later told.

A member of the public called 999 when they spotted his body at just after 10.30am.
