DANDRIDGE, Tenn. (AP) — Investigators are asking for the public's help as they work to identify a man's body found along an east Tennessee lake.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said Wednesday that a body was found along Douglas Lake in Jefferson County earlier in March. Investigators say the man was wearing a Walking Dead T-shirt, blue jeans and a belt with a buckle with an image of a horse and horseshoe in the center.

The belt also has an eagle pattern and the name "Gerald" stamped into the leather.

Investigators say they do not know how long the body had been at the lake. The man's race, weight, height and age are not known.

Anyone with information on this case should call the TBI or the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.
