Do you recognize him?

Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner Thomas Gilson and Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost are seeking the public’s help in identifying a man whose body was found Nov. 14 on the CSX train tracks just west of the Tiedeman Road overpass in Brooklyn, Ohio, near Cleveland.

“I’m asking everyone in the Greater Cleveland area to pause for a moment to look at the images of this man’s face — if you recognize him, please call the local authorities,” Yost said. “Everyone counts, and I’m hopeful that with the public’s help, we can regain this young man’s identity.”

Authorities say the man was 16 to 30 years old, 5 feet, 7 inches tall and 120 pounds. He wore gray Adidas sweatpants, a blue T-shirt, a blue zip-up sweatshirt and blue Crocs with the Cleveland Guardians logo. The man had blue or hazel eyes, long brown hair, a mustache and beard. He had no visible scars, tattoos or piercings.

At the request of the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office and the Brooklyn Police Department, the Attorney General’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation created postmortem images of the man, which have been released to the public in hopes that someone recognizes him.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office at 216-721-5610, ext. 1.
