Summary
What happened, as the record shows.

He was a Caucasian male estimated at 45 to 58 years old, wearing Wrangler jeans and black Brahma steel toe boots, with healed fractures to the nose and left cheek bone. The cause of death could not be determined from decomposition, and his DNA profile had not matched anyone after eight years per DNASolves.
