In Birmingham, England, a body was found in the Fazeley canal on November 4, 2010. The discovery was made near the intersection of Wheelwright Road and Tyburn Road in the Erdington area. The man, believed to be in his 50s, was described as being 5 feet 7 inches tall, with stubble and greying collar-length hair. He was also noted to be wearing a dark jumper with white stripes, black Velcro shoes, and brown socks. Despite extensive inquiries by West Midlands Police, the man was not identified, nor did he match any existing missing persons reports at the time. Following the post-mortem examination, the cause of death was determined to be drowning, and an inquest allowed him to be laid to rest without any information about his identity or background available to authorities. After more than a decade, the case remains one of the longest-running unidentified cases for the police as they seek help from the public.
