Cant find a thread on here for doe so making one as I’m hopeful with DNA it could be solved.

A Riverfront Park maintenance worker was looking for a picnic table that he thought might have been tossed in the Spokane River when he spotted a body in the water near the Riverfront Park Carrousel.
The body was trapped beneath a floating catwalk near the Howard Street Bridge, in a section of the river that feeds into an intake for the Post Street dam.
The worker contacted law enforcement, and three divers from the city-county Water Rescue Team recovered the body.
An autopsy conducted the day after the body was discovered could not determine the cause of death, but there was no initial evidence of foul play.
The decedent may have had a medical history of significant heart disease. The body showed the presence of severe calcific atherosclerosis with high grade obstruction of the lumen. Sections of the aorta also showed severe calcific atherosclerosis.
Hopefully with DNA available for doe something could come of it regarding genetic genealogy,
The medication could be linked to a missing person’s case of somebody suffering from an episode of mental illness. Hoping he is given his name back soon.
