Police say the remains of Azoulas Zygelis were discovered in a waterway in Barking, east London. The remains were found at around 12.20pm on November 3, but police have only just revealed the discovery has been made in a bid to prompt witnesses to come forward.
Azoulas is known to have been in Felton Road in the same area of the capital at around 5pm on November 1.
It is understood he then travelled to Newlands Park to meet friends for a short while and then left the park via the Roxwell Road exit at around 6pm. He was not seen alive again, My London says.
A post-mortem examination conducted on November 4 at Queens Hospital, Romford was inconclusive and results from further tests are to come.
Detective Constable Lisa Jones of the East Area Command Unit asked the public to check dashcam and doorbell footage to help their investigation.
She said: “I would urge anyone who lives along the route between Felton Road and Newlands Park to check doorbell footage on that afternoon and evening to see if you captured any images of Azoulas.
“Similarly, I am asking for drivers who drove through the area to check their dashcam footage.
“It is a relatively short distance from Newlands Park to where Azoulas’s body was found so if you live in the area around the park, please check whatever footage you may have for the evening of Monday, 1 November until Wednesday, 3 November – no matter how insignificant you think it is, it could provide vital clues for our investigation.
“Azoulas’s death remains unexplained and enquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances of his death.
“Any information that you provide could be of great assistance to us as we work to provide the answers that Azoulas’s family so desperately needs.”
The teenager’s family continue to be supported by specialist officers as the investigation continues.
