Authorities called attention to a distinctive ring found with the unidentified remains of a man in Galloway Township.
Investigators hope jewelry - including a distinctive ring - and clothing found with the remains will offer a clue into discovering his identity.
The man was found wearing multiple layers of clothes, including Levi model 511 skinny jeans size 30x32 and a large red and navy stripped Children's Place sweater.
Investigators also pointed out that the unidentified man may have had a previous surgical repair to his right hand that involved a metallic plate.
Anyone with information on the man's identity or the circumstances surrounding his death should contact the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office or local police.
