A fisherman found the victim's remains washed ashore at Bayou Rosa on Chevron USA property. It appeared from the autopsy that the victim was placed in a cooler and frozen for several months before being disposed of in the water.
It appeared the body had been in the water for two to three weeks before he was found.
His cause of death could not be determined, but the pattern of decomposition to his face is indicative of superficial facial wounds.
It is theorized he originated from overseas.
