Detective Inspector Anthea Ponting, Senior Investigating Officer said: “I would like to thank everyone who came forward with information following our first appeal.
“Following a post-mortem, I can confirm that the body is a man, aged between 30 and 60 years old. He is approximately 6ft tall and was wearing a Zone 3 Agile wetsuit. It is estimated that he could have been dead for between three and twelve weeks.
“If you think this the new information could relate to someone you may know please speak to police.
“We would still like to hear from anyone who has visited the Claerwen reservoir, or the surrounding area, since the beginning of July, and haven’t spoken to police yet about any unattended personal property such as bags, clothes, shoes, or anything else that stood out.
