As young as he appears, I think he will be identified quickly, as soon as a relative realizes he needs to be reported missing.
I hope his NamUs listing goes down soon and no one needs to see that photo.
Sincere condolences to his family.

I saw this on Facebook earlier today and I am so glad that a thread has been started for this young man. It is so sad that he was found dead on August 4th and still remains unidentified.

I did a quick reconstruction for him recently. Very unflattering PM photo, IMO.

Nice job! Maybe LE should use this!

I wish there were more details on this one. I'm curious as to COD and how he was found deceased at a friend's apartment but they aren't able to ID him
