Canterbury Man
Found On: 3rd February 2017
A man's body was found in a field near Hollow Lane, Canterbury on 3rd February 2017. It is estimated he had been dead for about 48 hours. He died from natural causes.
It is possible he had spent time in London in the weeks prior to his death, based on the evidence of an Oyster card found with him.
What we know
His did not have any teeth although there is a report that upper dentures were found.
A post-mortem confirmed that he died from heart disease, and it was thought it may have been caused by cirrhosis of the liver, which in turn could have been a result of starvation.
Found with him were an Oyster card (unregistered) purchased in Walthamstow, a book titled 'Clinical Theology: A Theological and Psychological Basis to Clinical Pastoral Care’ by Frank Lake, a decanter and glasses.
A mobile phone and a black suitcase containing some toiletries were also found. No data could be recovered from the phone. He also had a ‘wedding catalogue’ which was addressed to Mandy Martin.
There is always hope, and you could be the person that makes the difference.
