Body found in Colorado canal, authorities ask public if they recognize “distinct tattoo”

The Adams County Sheriff’s Office recently asked for the public’s assistance in identifying a body that was pulled from a canal in the unincorporated part of their county.

Content warning: This article includes a non-graphic close-up image of a tattoo on the body of a deceased person. Only the immediate area around the tattoo can be seen, which does not show any obvious injury.

The department has released an image of a “distinct tattoo” that is located on the left side of the deceased man’s chest. The tattoo appears to be a cartoon that depicts the ‘White Rabbit’ illustration from Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland novel.
