NORWICH, Conn. (WTNH) — Norwich police are asking for public input following the discovery of an unidentified body found in a wooded area off of Norwich Avenue.

The Norwich Police Department released a statement Tuesday morning announcing the discovery of a body in early April, in a wooded area near the corner of Norwich Avenue and Hunters Road.

Police are tentatively identifying the body as that of a white male aged 30 to 45, roughly between 5’8″ and 6′. Police say it appears surgery was previously performed on the right ankle, as indicated by a surgical screw. The body, upon discovery, was wearing a long-sleeved white tee shirt, Wrangler jeans with what police believe to be a 32″-34″ waist size, a dark-colored cloth belt, and black Avia sneakers with white soles, sized 10.5. They conjecture the man died around six months ago.

The cause of death is unknown and considered suspicious at this time. Norwich police are continuing to investigate along with the State of Connecticut Division of Scientific Services.

Anyone with any information is asked to call the Norwich Police Detective Division and speak with Investigator Maldonado or Officer Barber at (860) 886-5561, ext. 156 or 157.
