A post-mortem examination on a body found at sea will take place later today.
It was found yesterday by a fishing boat just North of Ramsey.
Police say the body is badly decomposed and so far they have been unable to determine its gender or for how long it had been in the water.
They’re liaising with police in Ireland and the UK and say they don’t believe the remains are from the Isle of Man.
