Baldwin County sheriff's investigators seek identity of body found in Tensaw River

05.02.12

BALDWIN COUNTY, Alabama -- The name of the man whose tattoo-covered body was found Saturday in the Tensaw River remains unknown and the Baldwin County Sheriff's Office is asking for help in identifying him. Because it is unknown where the man entered the water, Arthur said investigators cannot rule out the possibility that he may be a victim of last week's deadly tornadoes in northern Alabama. We dont know if he drowned accidentally or if someone drowned him. Because of the flow of the river and length of time the body was in the water, investigators believe the victim floated down from one of the northern counties. Fishermen found the man floating near Cloverleaf Landing between Spanish Fort and Bay Minette and called authorities about 9:30 a. m. The body appeared to have been in the water for several days, said Capt. There were no obvious signs of trauma, Arthur said.
