Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 25 Apr, 2023 10:08 AM

Mounties in Surrey want the public's help in identifying human remains found in the city's Clayton neighbourhood.

They say investigators have not uncovered any links to other missing person's cases and have been unable to determine the identity of the body, which was found east of Cloverdale on February 23rd.

Police say the person is believed to be a man between 20 and 50-years-old, around 5-foot-8, with short black hair, who has a tattoo that reads 'Angelica' in cursive on his left upper chest and a green and red tattooed sleeve on his right shoulder.

They say criminality is not believed to have been a factor in the death.
