Sussex Police issued an updated public appeal, on Thursday, November 12.
“We're continuing work to identify a man who was sadly found deceased on Rottingdean beach,” the appeal read.
"On October 11, at around 9.40am, emergency services responded to welfare concerns for a man who had been seen at the water's edge on Rottingdean beach.
“Sadly, the man was pronounced deceased at the scene, and attempts to identify him and his next of kin have been ongoing.”
The man is described as being in his ‘late 50s or early 60s and of a slim build’. He also has a number of tattoos, police said.
They added: “We're now releasing images of his tattoos to help in the identification process, and ask that if you feel you recognise any of them, or have any information to assist our enquiries, you make a report to police.
“You can do this online, or by calling 101 quoting reference 313 of 11/10.”
