Police investigations are continuing into the death of a 45-year-old man whose body was found in an industrial-sized garbage bin at Bellerive.
Officers from South East Criminal Investigation Branch have today returned to the Eastern Shore suburb and, in particular, the Percy Street area where the man's body was found about 9am on Monday (June 2) at the rear of a business premises.
Police, with the permission of the man's family, have released his name - Luke Jon Telega - and a photograph of him in the hope members of the public will come forward with information as to his movements.
"Mr Telega was last seen alive on Saturday night at 10pm, but there remains a gap in the timeline until the discovery of his body by a garbage contractor on Monday morning," Detective Inspector David Gill said.
"Detectives have today spoken with members of the public, conducted further door knocking of homes and businesses, and reviewed CCTV footage.
"An autopsy was conducted earlier today and details of this will not be released to the public. However, police have confirmed there were no visible signs of injury.
"Police continue to maintain an open mind and treat the death as a case of misadventure, or foul play, or a potential combination of both."
Anyone who may have seen Mr Telega in the Bellerive and greater Hobart area, especially on Sunday, June 1, or has information that can assist police is asked to contact 131 444.
