To wonder about bodies in the Thames

[TheOrangeOrange]

After reading a few articles about the number of bodies found in the Thames annually (324 in the last 12 years) I'm wondering how much effort is actually put into finding out the identity and cause of death of these people?

Can anyone enlighten me please?

The vast majority are identified.

A lot of detail here for Essex but all forces will do something similar.

Thank you - that's helpful and reassuring
