A young child walking in the wooded area around his house discovered the victim's skeletal remains at the 1100 block of Dennis Avenue and N. Forsyth Road in Orlando.
An anthropological exam revealed that the victim suffered extensive injuries that were consistent with falling from a great height. The location where the male was found was in-line with flight patterns out of Orlando Executive Airport and Orlando International Airport. It’s possible the male could have fallen from an aircraft.
The anthropological exam also revealed the skeleton was particularly robust for a male of this age noting characteristics that were consistent with an occupation of a laborer.
