DETECTIVES have established the identity of a man whose body was found hanging from an electricity pylon on the border of Eastleigh's Boyatt Wood estate.
The grim discovery was made by a woman walking her dog along a footpath between Birch Grove and Goodwood Road at about 8.30am on Tuesday. It was thought the body had been there between six and 24 hours but police said the death was not being treated as suspicious.
A CID spokesman confirmed inquiries had now established who he was and police were taking steps to trace his family. The name of the dead man was not being released until relatives had been informed.
