On the Body





Here is more information on Balboa Park, directly from the San Deigo .gov website.

"Balboa Park is made up of more than 1,000 acres and offers 15 museums, various gardens, arts and international culture associations, as well as the San Diego Zoo. All this makes it a place that offers something historical, horticultural, educational and recreational for everyone."

Very odd place to find a body IMO. I wish we knew more about what part of the park he was found in.

Quick reconstruction. I think he's on the younger side of 18-25.
