Police have launched a murder investigation after the body of a 51-year-old man was found in Bath city centre on Christmas Eve.
A member of the public discovered Thomas Downey under a railway arch on Lower Bristol Road, near Bath railway station just after 1.30pm on Wednesday.
The area was cordoned off and a detailed search of the area continues.
A post mortem examination has been carried out and confirmed that Mr Downey died from significant head injuries.
His family have travelled down from Manchester and are helping investigating officers with the inquiry.
A spokesman for Avon and Somerset Police said: "They are being supported by a police family liaison officer and our thoughts are with them at this sad time."
Mr Downey is known locally as "Manchester Tommy".
Officers have urged anyone with information to share it with police to help them piece together what happened on Christmas Eve.
Two men in their thirties have been arrested on suspicion of murder and continue to be questioned.
The spokesman added: "The neighbourhood policing team are working with the local community to provide support and reassurance and to assist with the investigation.
"However, we are still keen to speak to anyone who was in the area near to the station in Lower Bristol Road around lunchtime on Christmas Eve.
"We believe the area would have been busy with shoppers and people leaving work early."
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Major Crime Investigation Team on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
