PAPD police issued a sketch of the man, who they said is white and possibly Hispanic, in his mid-50s to early 60s, and about 5-foot-10 to 6 feet tall and 180 to 200 pounds, the authority’s Joseph Pentangelo said.

He has salt and pepper hair and brown eyes and was wearing a dark blue shirt, black pants, brown belt, black socks, brown shoes, with no scars or tattoos.

He is believed to have jumped from the south walkway of the bridge around 11 p.m. on April 3, Pentangelo said. His body was found just before midnight, he said.

If you have information that can help identify him, the PAPD asks that you call them: (201) 216-6955.
