He is believed to have been in the water only a short time.

The coroners service says he has brown hair and a full beard.

He was wearing a yellow-orange "Star Wars" T-shirt, a hand-knitted navy scarf, a grey hoodie with red and blue stripes and jeans.

The service says he was also wearing grey Pillow Paws socks, black Vans shoes and a green Northern Reflections rain jacket.
