RCMP hope the public can help identify a man found dead in a green space in Red Deer in August.

Police said the man’s death was not suspicious in nature, but they have not been able to identify him through fingerprints, medical records or missing persons reports.

“It’s a sad situation, as we know someone somewhere cares about this man,” Staff Sgt. Rob Marsollier said in a media release Monday.
