Extensive police enquiries have already mapped a number of movements from Mr Somers on July 24 and 25 across Plymouth and then Paignton, but are keen to hear from anyone who may have further information.
Assistant Chief Constable Chris Boarland said: “The death of anyone is a sad occasion, but the family of Mr Somers and police are particularly anxious for information concerning his whereabouts on these days in July.
“Mr Somers death is currently being treated as unexplained, but any information from the public to help piece together his final movements would aid the police investigation into his death.
“Our condolences remain with Mr Somers’ family and we are hoping any further information could help to bring some closure for them.”
There is currently an ongoing independent IPCC investigation into the way police dealt with contact relating to Mr Somers on July 24 and 25, but this is not directly connected to the investigation into Mr Somers death.
Anyone with information is asked to call 101 quoting crime reference FP/12/2700.

“last time I saw him was at a Royal Parade bus stop going out to Whitleigh he seemed a little troubled about what the future held for him, was thinking about leaving Plymouth. He did say where, but can't remember what he said. It was a while ago now.
Dear old Valon, God bless him”

“I hope the family get some closure and may this man rest in peace no matter what has happened. I can't help wondering why this wasn't well publicised closer to when it happened?? Time enough now for all tracks to have been well and truly covered by now. Very sad state of affairs Boarland.”
