Christchurch police are still struggling to identify the body of man who washed up on New Brighton beach.

The death's being treated as unexplained.

The body of the Caucasian man, estimated to be in his 60s-70s, was found on Sunday.

He was balding with a small amount of grey hair.. and wearing a black jacket, blue jeans and green and black sports shoes.

Police believe he may have used a blue Milazo Adventure bike with a wing mirror welded on the handle bar.

They're continuing their investigation and are urging anyone who has information to come forward.

Eastern suburb residents are being asked to check on the welfare of elderly men, family members and neighbours, especially if they live alone.
