Police seek identity of mummified man found in abandoned house near Värnamo

A man was found mummified in an abandoned house outside Värnamo in 2022. Police have been trying to identify him for four years, but are now seeking help from the public, reports P4 Jönköping.

"It feels difficult that no one has asked about the person, probably a lone vagabond," says Johan Borg at Värnamo police to P4.

Based on dental analysis, the man is believed to have been born around 1988 and likely had blue eyes and light hair. Police suspect he died of illness.

The police have searched the registry of missing people abroad and have been unable to locate relatives of missing people of the same age. Therefore, they are now turning to the public.

It would be nice to have a name for the person and be able to show relatives the memorial, says Borg.
