"Balmore Man" was the nickname given to a man whose body was found hanging in a wooded area to the north of Golf Course Road in Balmore, Scotland in 2011. Authorities state that he died by suicide.

Due to the contents of his belongings, authorities believe he may have either been traveling or may not have had a fixed address at the time of his death. It's unclear if he was a UK citizen.

Characteristics[]

  • Slight frame.
  • Shoulder-length light brown hair, parted to the right.
  • Healed broken nose, which may have been visibly crooked.
  • Partially-healed fracture on his pterygold plate, located at the base of his skull.
  • Unhealed and untreated fracture, located on the right-hand side of his jaw. This is likely to have caused him severe pain, especially when eating.
  • Chipped upper left-front tooth. This may have been capped, and the cap may have become discoloured.
  • Had a degenerative knee condition, which meant he may have walked with a limp.
