The body was discovered early evening by a dog walker in a stream in an area of woodland off Coxford Road, Shirley on Tuesday, July 20.

The area remains sealed off in order for the investigation to continue.The body had been in situ for some time. It’s not known who the man is.

If anyone has any information that could help the enquiry they are urged to contact Shirley CID on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111
