Detectives have released an e-fit image of a man they have been unable to identify five months after he died in west London.

Paramedics found the man, believed to be Albanian, in Sixth Avenue, Queen's Park, at 02:40 BST on 6 October.

He was taken to hospital where he died 10 days later.

The force added the man's death was not being treated as suspicious and have released the e-fit with the hope that his family will come forward.

They have also issued an image of a tattoo on his left arm.

Det Sgt Julia Morrow explained CCTV footage showed the man walking along the street when he collapsed.

She added: "We have carried out a number of checks to attempt to identify the man, including checking the descriptions of any people who've been reported missing in the area, but we have still not been able to work out who he is.

Police hope the man's tattoo may be recognised

"We are working with the coroner to identify his next of kin and we are releasing an image of a tattoo the man had on his inner left bicep in the hope that somebody may recognise it and come forward."

Police said the man was only wearing trousers and didn't have any identification or personal belongings with him.

In the footage, police said he was heard talking to himself in a foreign language, which the force believed to be Albanian.

He is described as being white, aged in his 40s, of slim build and between 5ft 7in and 5ft 10in.
