I can't make out what shoe size he was but the shoes seem to be quite small. Maybe a men's 6 or 7?

Oh wow, didn't know they originally thought this UID was a woman at first. Hopefully they did testing to confirm it was a man?

Old injury to right shoulder blade - hadn't seen this bit before, could help out.
