The Erie County Sheriff’s Office is seeking help identifying a “John Doe” who was discovered dead in the Huron River in May.
The remains were discovered on May 16 by a kayaker in a shallow, marshy area of the river south of State Route 2, according to the sheriff’s office. The remains were wrapped in a fitted bed sheet, and his hands were bound with marine-style rope.
Officials work to identify human remains discovered in the Huron River.
According to the Lucas County Coroner, the man is about 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighs around 160 pounds, and has dark facial hair. The man appears to be between his 20s and mid-30s.
The man had several notable tattoos, including “LV” on his torso, “V.I.P.” on his lower abdomen, a smoking revolver and playing cards on his right shoulder, and a star with “8st” on his right forearm, according to the sheriff’s office.
