The Palo Pinto Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help in identifying a man whose body was found at Possum Kingdom Lake in Graford. <\/p>\n

The sheriff’s office said at about 8:53 a.m. on Sunday, deputies responded to a reported drowning near Pat and Herman’s Camp on Possum Kingdom Lake. <\/p>\n

Deputies, along with other emergency responders and Texas Parks and Wildlife Game Wardens, recovered the body of an unidentified man in shallow water near a dock. <\/p>\n

Investigators said the man may have been in the water for at least 48 hours, and no ID, property, or watercraft was found in the area. <\/p>\n

The man is described as a white male, about 5’10” and weighing about 200 pounds. He appears to be in his mid-40s, with brown, reddish hair styled in a slicked-back pompadour. <\/p>\n

Investigators said he wasn’t wearing a shirt and had on black Adidas shorts with white stripes. <\/p>\n

Anyone with information to help identify him is asked to call the Palo Pinto Sheriff’s Office at 940-659-2085. \u00a0<\/p>\n
