Due to the condition of the body, the only distinguishable tattoo was on the upper right arm. It appears to be a type of mask with flames around it and a banner over the top that read “East Side” with a backward S, according to the coroner’s office.

Anyone who has information about the man’s identity should call the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office at 937-225-4156.

The case remains under investigation by Dayton police.
