Law enforcement authorities are seeking the public's help in identifying the body of a man found in Mystic River.

The body of a black man who was about 6 feet tall, 160 pounds, in good physical shape, and 20 to 35 years old was recovered Thursday morning from the river near the Boston Autoport, upriver from the Tobin Bridge. The man was wearing a black, hooded Everlast sweat shirt, black sweat pants, and a black short-sleeved T-shirt with an image of a crown on the front. He was also wearing brown Timberland boots, size 11M, the Suffolk district attorney's office said in a statement.
Authorities released a photograph of the tattoo on the man's right shoulder, a basketball surrounded by flames.
The body was discovered by State Police troopers who were providing security for a liquefied natural gas tanker.
Anyone with information is urged to call State Police detectives at 617-727-8817 or State Police headquarters at 508-820-2121.
