Vital Statistics

Circumstances of Recovery:

An unidentified man's remains were found on a hillside in Irvine Regional Park in Orange on December 28, 1995. The coroner estimated that he had died at least five years earlier, before 1990, and classified the manner of death as undetermined. The agency describes him as White-Hispanic. He had a prominent nose and was estimated to stand between 5 feet 3 inches and 5 feet 6 inches. The coroner's age fields are inconsistent: one says over 50, while the narrative gives 60-80 years. Both estimates are retained rather than assigning an exact age. Dental findings included restorations in teeth 12-14 and 31 and substantial decay in teeth 28 and 29. The Orange County Sheriff's Department, Coroner Division, maintains this identification case under file 95-07985-RO. Anyone with identifying information can contact the Coroner Division at 714-647-7400 and quote that file number.
