PRESQUE ISLE COUNTY — On Nov. 26 troopers from the Michigan State Police (MSP) Alpena Post responded to a residence on Raven Drive in Ocqueoc Township after a deceased male was discovered on the shore of Lake Huron, according to an MSP press release on Thursday.

At the time he was discovered, the man was wearing a white t-shirt that had the word “Allegedly” in colorful letters and an Ostrich on the front, according to the release. He was also wearing a black North Face jacket, American Eagle undergarments with an aquatic print, and blue jeans. The preliminary investigation indicates the man is approximately 5′ 6″ and 165 pounds. The man may have been deceased for a period ranging from three months to three years. Due to the condition of the deceased, it is difficult for investigators to determine any other identifying information. The medical examiner’s investigation is ongoing, and foul play is not suspected.

As of Thursday, MSP reported that detectives have been actively working to identify this individual. With assistance from the Michigan State University Anthropology Laboratory and the MSP Forensic Art Unit, a sketch of what the man is believed to look like was composed and is being released to the public.

MSP is requesting the public’s assistance in identifying the deceased. Anyone who recognizes this man or has any information is asked to call the MSP Alpena Post at (989) 354-4101.
