Calgary police have released a sketch of an unidentified man found dead last year in hopes of finding his family.
In December 2023, police say the man was found dead in the doorway of an abandoned building on Centre Street SE.
The death was deemed non-criminal following an autopsy, however, despite several attempts to identify the man by the medical examiner’s office and police, his identity remains unknown and his next of kin is outstanding.
Police say by releasing the sketch, they hope someone will be able to provide investigators with the man’s name, so answers can be delivered to his family who are out there not knowing what happened to him.
