NANAIMO — The BC Coroners Service is turning to the public for help identifying a body found dead on Valdes Island nearly a year ago.

The body was discovered on the small island south of Gabriola Island on June 23, 2018.

The service shared several key details to help identify the man.

The logo for a California hip hop band Kottonmouth Kings is on the back between the shoulder blades. There’s also a tattoo spelling “yummy” in graffiti-style letters just above the waistline. He was wearing a “distinctive” bullet necklace and big belt buckle.
