Missing Persons Bureau website aims to identify bodies
Pictures of unidentified bodies found across the UK are being put online on a new website that aims to help the authorities track missing people.
The Missing Persons Bureau currently holds records of 1,000 people who have not been identified, some dating back to the 1950s.
Its site will also be used to trace living people, such as those who have suffered memory loss.
Images deemed to be distressing will be marked with a warning.
Members of the public will be able to search cases and provide information online.
As well as the photographs, information under each entry may include an estimate of the age of the person discovered and details of the clothing they were wearing.
Any relevant details supplied by members of the public will given to police forces or the coroner in charge of the case.
The website also includes details of bodies discovered on the Isle of Man and Channel Islands.
