Also here's an article about him from 2017
Who is this Coachella mystery man?

So it doesn’t mention the festival but it could have been someone who went to the Coachella Music Festival. It ended on Sunday the 24th. Maybe someone who had too good a time and got left behind? If he was wearing a wristband they might be able to ID from that. I’ve been to Coachella twice and you have create an account and register with all your information. It doesn’t mention a wristband either though. Just an idea. Also the clothing is definitely something worn to the fest.

Interestingly the article says he was wearing "blue jeans, a black belt, black gym shorts and black shoes and socks" so I'm not sure what he was actually wearing. It also says "his pants, shoes and socks were caked with dirt, as if he had been working in the fields."

 

[JurassicParker]

oh. I saw "multicolored pants". I guess that changed.

What he was wearing seems to be reported differently each time

On the Riverside County Sheriff's Department website it says "Multicolored pants, black belt, Black socks, and multicolored shoes"

On NamUs it says "Clothing- Multicolored pants and black belt, Footwear- Black"

In an article from 2017 it says "blue jeans, a black belt, black gym shorts and black shoes and socks"

There's an artist named Yelawolf who has played at Coachella. I'd never heard of him but he's got an interesting sound. Hip hop/country/classic rock.

Yelawolf - The Masquerade

He looks Hispanic in the drawing. Combined with pants caked with dirt "as if we were working in the fields", I wonder if he's a migrant worker.

I thought of the festival too but per Google, in 2016 the festival was in April while the JD was found in July. I've attached the poster that confirms the April dates.

LOL You are right. I was half asleep most of the day yesterday. I stayed up too late Friday celebrating. I was thinking April and July are the same. No more looking while not completely coherent.

The other interesting thing in the article from 2017 is
"Medics rushed the man toward a nearby hospital, but he died before he arrived – killed by a toxic combo of methamphetamine, alcohol and desert heat. Doctors clocked his body temperature at 107."
