Police have released a facial reconstruction of an unidentified woman whose body was discovered in a river more than eight months ago.
The woman, who was wearing a lime-green Primark crop-top and New Look jeans, was found by a member of the public in the River Mersey, near Chorlton Water Park in Manchester, on 21 March.
She is thought to have been in the water for one or two months before she was discovered.
Her cause of death is being treated as unexplained and further analysis of her body is due to be completed.
Greater Manchester Police has released the facial reconstruction, which was created by Face Lab at Liverpool John Moores University, as they continue to try and identify her.
The force said it comes after months of detailed forensic, DNA and investigative work.
The woman, who had an elastic band and hair bobble on her wrist, is described as being from a European background, about 5ft 1in tall, of a slim build and with dark brown hair.
Police believe she is between 26 and 40, although could be older or younger.
When discovered, she was wearing a Primark neon green strapless corset style top, New Look branded Jenna black jeans in a size 8, and dark green anti-slip socks, of the type that are believed to be used in hospitals and care facilities, although can also be purchased in shops and online.
Police believe she may have entered the water in a surrounding area or region, with the River Tame and River Goyt both merging into the River Mersey.

Detective Inspector Louise Edwards, from GMP’s major incident team, said: “We have worked with numerous experts covering a wide range of forensic examinations and tests available to us, but we have sadly been unable to uncover the woman’s identity.
“We want nothing more than to reunite her with her family and friends. She could be someone’s mother, aunty, sister, or cousin – somebody out there will know who she is and we want to ensure she gets back to her loved ones.
“If you have any information at all, please do get in touch with us. Even the smallest amount of information could greatly benefit in finding out who she is, and the circumstances which led to her sadly being discovered in the river more than eight months ago.”
