According to police, the unidentified man was found dead in the doorway of an abandoned building in the 1300 block of Centre Street S.E. in December 2023.

“Following an autopsy by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, the death was deemed non-criminal. Despite numerous attempts to identify the man by the medical examiner’s office and police, his identity remains unknown and his next of kin remain outstanding,” Calgary police said in a statement Friday.

“By releasing this sketch, we hope someone will be able to provide us his name, so we can bring answers to his family who are out there not knowing what happened to him.”
