Circumstances of Discovery

The victim was discovered on the beach of Sharp Park in Pacifica, California by a passerby. His exact cause of death remains undetermined, but investigators suspect his death is related to perimortem damage discovered on the base of his skull, which could be the result of homicide or from the current slamming the remains against rocks, although an investigator stated it was "too round" to be the result of natural causes.

Some explored a theory he may have been a foreign sailor, although all of his clothing was made in the United States.
