Scientists create image of dead man found in woods

SCIENTISTS have created an image of how they believe a man whose body was found in a Galway woods three years ago might have looked.

The death was not considered to have been suspicious but gardaí have been unable to return the remains to the man’s family since they were discovered by a group of hunters near the shores of Lough Inagh on December 8, 2006.

Clues at the scene included a soft drinks bottle with a 2005 expiry date, which the West Galway coroner Dr Ciaran MacLoughlin said was consistent with analysis of the body suggesting the man died late in 2005 or a year before he was discovered.
