He looks like he's in his mid 20s. That thin moustache - called a pencil moustache is in style and requires a fair amount of upkeep so I agree he's a well-groomed individual.

If the location of his discovery is correct the Bronx River is a fairly small meandering river. The location shows he was found in Scout Field County Park. Pretty well wooded but probably trees aren't budding yet. I wonder if he was hanging out at the park. The building on the property, the bronxville Boy Scout Cabin is an historical building (if it's still standing) since the county was looking to raze it. Google map says it'll open at 4pm on Monday. It's possible the deceased is homeless and entered the building for shelter, I guess.

Interesting that the location is listed as 'The Bronx' when it looks like he was found in Bronxville, which is a north suburb. The park definitely seems out of the way, although there's a hospital not too far away.

Very quick reconstruction, I suspect he'll be identified pretty soon.

The resemblance is pretty accurate, right down to the pencil moustache and the wild curls. His being missing may have been voluntary because the PM images show a very recently deceased individual.

the resemblance is apparent but I suspect this UID is a few years older than Almany. I don't think Almany's facial hair grows as thick as the UID. The unidentified man appears to be at least mid twenties to me.

I'd still submit, just in case! @victoriarobinson642

 

[tlcya]

Yes, definitely worth submitting

I had guessed early 20s or so looking at the pic. He looks awfully young.

 

[EmiliaRT007]

I was searching MPs who fit his description. Wasn’t able to find anything really to go off of. I think possibly he wasn’t reported missing or will end up in ClaimUs when ID’d, like many NY UIDs.

One NCMEC kid who looks similar, but his poster is so barebones I can't really compare. Negatives for this comparison - UID has no mentioned ear piercings, this kids eyebrows are spaced farther (but maybe groomed??), and LA is definitely not close to NY.

Was looking at runaways in my state and came upon this young man who seems to check a lot of the boxes for this Doe (height, weight), though I'm 50/50 on the facial resemblance

ive come across isaiahs photo before and IMO his eyebrows and his lips are not thick enough to be the UID.
