According to police, the man was found in a wooded area adjacent to the Garden Street School in Brewster on Oct. 9, 1995. This unknown individual’s death was ruled a suicide due to self-inflicted wounds to his wrists, police said. 

At the time of his death, he was believed to be 40-50 years old, 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighing 165 pounds, had brown eyes, was well-groomed and clean-shaven, with short black hair with slight gray, receding hairline, a mole on the right side of his face by his nose, medium brown-skinned complexion and perfect teeth (there were no signs of any dental work), according to police. This individual could be African-American or Hispanic, police said. 

The man was well-dressed, wearing brown leather Dockers-brand penny loafer shoes, dress socks, tan-colored Hagger casual khaki knit pants, size 33 inch waist by 30 inch length, two plaid button-down shirts -- a long-sleeve green, black and yellow plaid Kenneth Gordon-brand shirt on the outside and a short-sleeve plaid Gentleman’s Row-brand shirt colored blue, green, and red, according to police. 

The man was also wearing a gold-chained crucifix around his neck. No form of identification was found on him, police said.
