South Bay medical examiner seeks help ID’ing deceased man

(KRON) -- Officials in the South Bay are asking for assistance in identifying an unknown deceased man who was found in June. The Santa Clara County Medical Examiner-Coroner said the 56-year-old was likely transient and living in a storage trailer in San Jose.

The man’s body was found on June 27. The trailer he likely lived in was in the parking lot of a vacant business at 2150 Del Franco Street.

The medical examiner described the man as being approximately 6 feet tall and of average weight. The man’s hair and eye color are unknown due to the condition the body was found. County officials are also unable to determine if the man had tattoos or scars.

The unidentified individual was wearing a black or purple zip-up jacket at his time of death, along with a possibly blue undershirt, black or purple winter pants worn over dark-colored jeans and thick black socks.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the investigations unit of the medical examiner’s office at (408)-793-1900 extension 3. Officials said that a positive identification will help the medical examiner to notify family members.
