Detective Inspector Andy Bilton said: "We have had a good response to our appeal and we are grateful to everyone who has been in touch, and have been keen to help us identify the man.
"Our investigation remains ongoing and officers are following a positive line of enquiry.
"I would like to thank the public for their response to the initial appeal.”
That appeal described as him as a white male, aged between 40-60, with dark hair.
When he was found, he was wearing a Regatta blue lightweight waterproof jacket, size extra large, a Pep&Co purple/mauve t-shirt with a graphic of palm trees, size XXL and black Gelert walking boots, size 10.
A post mortem examination will be carried out to establish the exact cause of death and a report will be sent to the procurator fiscal.
