If it weren’t for the tattoo, I would have suggested this as a possible match.

I am always surprised somehow when there is a suicide note & recognizable face and yet no leads....

And such young victims sometimes. It surprises me when it feels like no one is still looking for them. I do realize families might not know they can have them added to a missing person's database. But it surprises me anyway.
This man was only in his 20's...
