The man was identified through his dental records.
Police in London are seeking the public’s help to identify the person responsible for the death of a man whose body was found in a freezer in an empty pub after being missing for almost a decade. In a statement released on Friday, the Metropolitan Police Service said Roy Bigg’s body was discovered in October 2021 in the basement of a building that was once a wine bar. It was believed to have been in the freezer for several years before being found by builders working on the site. He was identified through his dental records.
The Metropolitan Police believe Mr Bigg was 70 years old when he died. A post-mortem examination found the cause of death to be inconclusive. Despite previous efforts, police are still looking for the person responsible for the murder of Roy Bigg.
“It has now been more than two years since Roy was found. While our investigation and previous media appeals have provided us with information about Roy’s life, we still need your help to identify who is responsible,” said Chief Inspector Kelly Allen in a statement. .

Authorities said Mr. Bigg went missing in February 2012. They want to know where Mr Bigg was between 2012 and 2021, when there were no confirmed sightings of the man they say was murdered. Officials are offering up to £20,000, or more than $24,000, for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of anyone responsible for Mr Bigg’s murder.
“Anything you can tell us could prove invaluable in helping us discover what happened,” the Metropolitan Police said. “A post-mortem examination found the cause of death to be inconclusive and Roy’s remains were identified through his dental records,” the statement said.
