St. Augustine police asking for help identifying man, believed to have died in 2014

Jacksonville, FL - Nearly three years after a body was found in a marsh area, west of the San Sebastian Bridge, the St. Augustine Police Department is turning to the public for help identifying the man.

According to an osteological examination conducted by the University of Florida, it's believed the body belongs to a black man, who was about 5'11'' tall, and over the age of 50. He also likely had a pronounced under bite and was nearly or completely toothless.

Police believe he may have been a transient that often spent time in the downtown area.

Investigators believe he died a year before his body was discovered, which was found in March 2015. Foul play is not suspected.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. - Police are asking for help in identifying a man believed to be at least 50 whose skeletal remains were found on March 29, 2015, in a marsh just west of the San Sebastian Bridge.

The remains were spotted by a fisherman, who called the St. Augustine Police Department. When the medical examiner could not determine an identification, the remains were turned over to the University of Florida for a forensic examination. There, they determined the person was a black man, about 5 feet 11 inches tall, and likely toothless. He may have been a transient frequenting the downtown area.

Scientists estimated he had been dead for about one year when the skeleton was discovered.

I wonder if LE ever tried canvassing the transient community in town. There are so many homeless and housing insecure people who camp around town and panhandle in the tourist areas. Surely someone in the community would have recognized the drawing.
