Authorities in the Florida Keys continue to ask for the public’s help in identifying a man found dead off Ballast Key earlier this week.
The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office said the man had been in the water for a short time and does not match the description of any missing persons. He has a large tribal-type tattoo on his upper left arm, a detail detectives are hoping will lead to his identity.
