He’s described as being between 16 and 30 years old, 5 feet 7 inches tall, and around 120 lbs. He had blue or hazel eyes, long brown hair, and a mustache and beard.

The man was found wearing gray Adidas sweatpants, a blue t-shirt, a blue zip-up sweatshirt, and blue Crocs with a Cleveland Guardians logo.

The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation created post-mortem images of the man in hopes that someone would recognize him. Yost is asking for anyone who recognizes the man to contact their local authorities.
