CLEVELAND — Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost and Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner Dr. Thomas Gilson are asking for the public's help in identifying a man's body that was found on train tracks in Northeast Ohio.
Officials say that "John Doe's" body was discovered on Nov. 14 on the CSX tracks just west of the Tiedeman Road train overpass in Brooklyn.
“I’m asking everyone in the greater Cleveland area to pause for a moment to look at the images of this man’s face – if you recognize him, please call the local authorities,” Yost said. “Everyone counts, and I’m hopeful that with the public’s help, we can regain this young man’s identity.”
According to officials, the man was 16 to 30 years old, 5 feet, 7 inches tall and 120 pounds. He was wearing gray Adidas sweatpants, a blue t-shirt, a blue zip-up sweatshirt, and blue Crocs with the Cleveland Guardians logo. The man had blue or hazel eyes, long brown hair, and a mustache and beard. He had no visible scars, tattoos or piercings.
Below are post-mortem images that were completed by an Ohio BCI forensic artist, as well as a map of where the man's body was found:
Anyone with information on the man is asked to call the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office at 216-721-5610, extension 1.
