Is that one tattoo a film strip? At least that's what it looks like to me I've never seen a tattoo like that before it's definitely unique. Also what type of building is this that he was found in if anyone knows?

The tattoo looks like film strip to me, it is not an especially uncommon tattoo, imo, for gaffers, camera operators ect.- people working in or aspiring to work in the film/TV business. There are a number of film companies close by that area. imo, speculation.
Regarding 901 King street..
2013
Will creative types take over a 'stuffy' office building?
''The area that surrounds the intersection of King Street and Strachan Avenue is one of those pockets of the city known, if it's known at all, primarily for what it's not. It's not the bustling development hub of Liberty Village to the southwest. It's not the scenester destination of Queen West, where locals flock to cafés, bookstores and Trinity Bellwoods Park, just a few blocks north. It's not the thumping core of the Entertainment District to the east.

It's a neighbourhood in search of an identity – and the work being done inside the eight-storey building at 901 King St. W. aims to turn it into Toronto's newest creative hub''.

''We're going to go after the people who are in the brick-and-beam buildings," says Les Miller, Crown Realty's president and chief operating officer. Think web design, advertising and companies that work in film and television.''

So from that being the building he was found in that might give some clue to who he is maybe he was working there or looking for a job there? Someone should be able to identify him poor guy has been unidentified for over a year now. So many of these seem like someone should know who they are and yet here we are strangers on the internet trying our best to give them their names back and the peace they deserve.

Great catch, thanks for the reminder!!

I don't see a resemblance here, espcially in the hairline. However, the dates are only 3 days apart and you mentioned the movie industry. Could this be a case of ID theft/mugging? Something just sits weird with me on these two cases.
ETA - Thinking further I can't help but wonder whether the UID is the actual Stephen Andrejewski. @dotr Can you check that mylife link, pls.

Also, Ben Everson went missing 11 Jul. I can't find any other pics or descr info.

Just looked (thinking we are looking at some of the same guys like the one you have posted above)
There seems to be a fair number of men with that last name, A, working in the film business, (and look similar) but cannot see (not shown) tattoos or that any with that name are missing---- so far. Thinking younger relatives maybe?

Missing Man in Comox Valley, BC – Keith Campbell, 36

The left ear is similar, too bad info. about Keith Joseph Campbell is pretty scarce, imo.

''The Comox Valley RCMP is asking for help as they try to locate a 36-year-old Courtenay man who was last seen Jan. 10. Police say Keith Joseph Campbell is caucasian and is 5’10” tall and weighs 166 pounds. Campbell has brown hair and hazel eyes.''

To what I remember, Ben commited suicide

Bumping and hoping that if/when this UID man is identified, LE will post that information.

 

[dotr]

Still hoping for an update, somebody somewhere must be missing this uid man!

I am new here because I joined to update this thread. I have taken a particular interest in this case due to how identifiable and extensive this man's tattoos are. I created a post on the subreddit r/UnsolvedMysteries and we have been able to deduce a few new thoughts about the tattoos. One that I saw here is that the film tattoo is cut off in the media releases but if you look closer it actually is film emerging from a canister which is photography related. This leads his interests to be more in photography not the film industry as many suggest. The other thing we discovered is that in the hand tattoo there is cursive writing under the camera that is the Leica logo. A brand of camera which we were able to figure out the camera is a Leica M2 or M3 model rangefinder camera. This now becomes a very specific tattoo with this information. I am posting here because I feel someone may be able to run with this information or help me decide next steps.
I have posted a link to the Reddit post as it has all my sources and the comments figuring out the camera I hope the link is ok. It is marked NSFW as the group's rules say to when there is a body involved but it is all the same pictures of his post mortem tattoos already in this thread. I would like to continue this discussion
