I think this guy may have been a tourist from overseas (From China or S. Korea) and may have rented a hotel that contains his belongings, including his ID. Miami PD should check hotels around the area near where he was found to see if any clients left without checking out and never came back.

Even if they do identify him. Will they be able to notify next of kin.
