Circumstances of Discovery
The decedent as located in a wooded area off Route 95, which runs from Florida to Maine, so it is believed he could have come from anywhere, including Canada. He was found just off the SB Rte 113 exit.

State Police believe that the youth was a runaway as his description did not match that of any teenagers reported missing locally.

A Forensic Anthropologist examined the body, and his age was determined from teeth and from the fact that certain of his bone shafts had not yet fused, which happens at about age 20.

Another way to identify him is through the X-rays of his head and body. If he ever had a skull X-ray, for his head injury, they would be able to match it or rule it out with his X-ray.

No cause of death could be determined. There were no markings on the skeleton although soft tissue injury was possible.
