Authorities Friday sought public help to identify a man whose body was found floating in the ocean near the Port of Long Beach.
A kayaker spotted the body on Sept. 6 about 7:30 a.m., said coroner’s Chief Craig Harvey.
The man, who was “not visually identifiable,” was described as white, about 55 years of age or older, 6 feet tall and weighing 187 pounds. He was balding with gray hair, and was missing a right upper incisor. He had no tattoos or scars.
He was wearing gray shorts with a blue stripe; a cloth belt; gray briefs; a blue “Under Armour” shirt in a size medium; a yellow metal rope- type necklace with an “S” charm; and a white metal Casio wristwatch with a black band. He was carrying a set of keys to a General Motors vehicle.
Anyone with information on the case was urged to call coroner’s Investigator Daniel Machian, (323) 343-0754; or the coroner’s 24-hour number (323) 343-0714.
