Some citizens found a deceased man floating in the water, but Deputies said due to his condition, immediate identification was not possible. He was described as 6 feet tall, about 200 lbs with facial hair.

   The One Clue Might be Tattoo

The man had a distinctive tattoo on his left shoulder, but even it was a little worn, likely due to the time he’d been in the river.  The OCSO was not sure how long, the Coroner plans an autopsy. The OCSO did not immediately say if any missing persons’ reports matched this victim.
