No fingerprints, few clues, no answers. The Santa Clara County Medical Examiner is having a hard time identifying a man's body found in the San Jose foothills.

The body was discovered Saturday November 15, at 6:00 p.m. in the foothills above the Boulder Ridge Gold Course in the Alamaden area.

An investigation was unable to identify even his race. Crews tried to trace his fingerprints, but had no luck. They say his teeth were in 'good condition' but say decomposition made it impossible for investigators to give any further description.

The man had short hair or a shaved head and some chin stubble. He has a tattoo of a bull with red horns and the word “Taurus” written above it.

He wasn't wearing a shirt, but a black t-shirt was found near his body. It had the words 'film festival' in red and 'revolver' in yellow text on one side, and the Cinequest logo on the other side.

Anyone with information about the identity of the man is asked to call the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department.
