The deceased was wearing cargo shorts, a tank top, a short sleeved t-shirt, white Adidas brand sneakers (size 11), socks, a beige colored Champion brand baseball style hat with a red capital letter “Z” on the front and metal framed sunglasses with oversized yellow tinted lenses.
Police said the remains were likely siting at the old lumber yard on MY Lane for four to five months before they were found Saturday by a couple looking for mushrooms shortly before 4 p.m.
M Y Lane is off Lincoln Highway in the Morrisville section of the township. The roadway leads to several businesses and features some wooded areas. The area is known to be frequented by homeless people.
