The decedent's body was discovered in Rhinelander, Wisconsin, on March 19, 1980, along Highway 17 North.

Based on the calendar he carried relating to electrician work, he may not have been from the area, as he may have needed to travel for work opportunities or had attended the event that it mentioned.

The man died from exposure to the elements, possibly after slipping and falling after losing his footing. He may have departed from, or traveling to, the nearby town of Sugar Camp.

The decedent was exhumed in 2021 in hopes to obtain DNA and to examine his remains again.
