Police seek identity of body found in Auckland cemetary

5:15 PM

Auckland police would like to hear from anyone who may be able to identify the skeletal remains of a man found in a remote part of the Hillsborough Cemetery last night.

The body is believed to have been there for up to four months, and was found by a local resident while out walking his dog.

The dead man was wearing black trousers or jeans and blue track pants.

He was also wearing two watches - a silver and gold 'Solvil et Titus' brand and a Casio digital.

The man was about 166 centimetres tall, of slim but muscular build, and thought to be in his twenties.

He had short hair and possibly a receding hairline.

Police say there are no obvious signs of foul play.
