The man's decomposed body was found in Buffalo Bayou on Dec. 1, 2001, near the 6700 block of Avenue W.

A tugboat crew escorting a barge in the bayou discovered the body.

It is not known how long the man was in the water before he was found.

The Harris County Medical Examiner's Office said the man died of natural causes from a heart attack.

A forensic anthropologist artist made the sketches based on analysis of the man's skull.
