Police are seeking the public's assistance in identifying the body of a man found Sunday evening in San Juan.
According to police reports, around 6.35 pm officers responded to a call about the body seen in some bushes and went to Upper Lloyd Street, Sunshine Avenue, San Juan, where they found the man's body.
Police said he appeared to be of mixed race, brown complexion and was wearing a brown three-quarter pants and brown netted vest. He was found lying face down in some bushes with his hands tied behind his back with a black and white bandanna.
He also had injuries to his face and stomach. Police believe the man may have been there for a few days as his body was already decomposing.
In a separate incident, police were called in after the body of Ramnanan Singh was found lying face down in a drain at El Dorado. Police believe that Singh, 52, who lived under a bridge near Cost Cutters Supermarket along the Eastern Main Road, El Dorado, may have been intoxicated and fell into the nearby drain.
Police said Singh was a "heavy drinker" and was last seen alive intoxicated around 11 pm Sunday night. His body was found around 6.15 am yesterday. Singh was identified late yesterday and an autopsy will be done today to determine the cause of death. (JLV)
