OPP release facial reconstruction of man found dead in 2017

Ontario Provincial Police have released a facial reconstruction sketch of a man found dead along the Ottawa River shoreline two years ago.

The man's partially decomposed body was discovered on a property in Wendover, Ont., about 50 kilometres northeast of downtown Ottawa, in April 2017.

Police initially said the man was between 40 and 50 years old, but they now believe he was between 50 and 75 years old at the time of his death.

They say he was between five-foot-three and five-foot-nine, weighed approximately 167 pounds, and had facial stubble and a small amount of brown or grey hair at the back of his head.
