Police want to trace dead man's last movements

Police are keen to trace the last movements of a man from Bristol whose body was found in Exmouth last month.

Devon and Cornwall Police say they are not treating the death of 78 year old David Clarke as suspicious after his body was discovered on Wednesday the 5th of April.

He was last seen at his home two days before, and officers want to trace his movements during the two days he went missing.

DC Matthew Burnell said: “I am keen to try and establish where he may have spent time between these dates. It is believed that he was sighted in Budleigh Salterton on Thursday 6 April, however, we do not know where he stayed during the rest of his time in Devon.

“I would be grateful if accommodation providers could consider whether David stayed with them during this time frame.

"There are no suspicious circumstances regarding David’s death, however, we are looking to piece together his movements before his death to assist the coroner.”

David is described as white, stocky build, balding grey hair, around 5ft 3ins tall, and was wearing a distinctive white T-shirt with an image of an Electric Lightning plane on and dark trousers.
