This is a 35-56 year old white male who was found in a wooded area next to Route 295 in Hamilton, Mercer County New Jersey. He was partially skeletonized/mummified, about 69 inches.
He had grey facial hair and bandages wrapped around his lower legs.

Clothing on body:
Checkered plaid pajama bottoms - navy, white, red.
T-shirt.
Socks - white.
Underwear.

Found with body:
Pin striped blue and white shirt.

Blue hospital type therapeutic sandal with two velcro straps.
Watch with black leather band with red face.
One yellow metal ring with a leaf or flower design.
Two BIC disposable lighters
 
The sandal might be something similar to this, apparently called a "deluxe cast sandal." There are also cast boots and shoes that fit more like boots and shoes, respectively.

The Wikipedia entry on "orthopedic cast" says: "Similarly, a cast shoe/cast boot/cast sandal may be provided to the patient to be utilized during ambulation of the immobilized limb during convalescence (referred to as being weight bearing). Additionally, a castshoe may be used to simply protect the patients casted foot while helping to maintain a higher degree of hygiene preventing the cast from directly contacting potentially dirty or wet ground surfaces."

But our John Doe had only bandages on his lower legs; there is no mention of a cast. Can anyone with medical experience explain why someone might have had his legs bandaged and been given a cast sandal for one foot? Do we have any missing men who had recently been released from a hospital?

There are photos of his personal effects and a reconstruction available on Namus now.

Judging by his outfit and the bandages, it seems like he wandered off (or was "helped") from a hospital/rehab center/nursing home.
 
it would help if the sources got their information on the same page.

Namus just says yellow metal ring and watch while the State's website says gold ring and a designer watch.
 
I found an article on a man missing from CT
http://www.wfsb.com/story/15292454/watertown-police-serchin-for-missing-man

WATERTOWN, CT (WFSB) -

Watertown police are searching for a 50-year-old man who has been missing since April.

Police said David Van Wagner last told his family he was heading to Atlantic City, NJ.

He doesn't have a car and he might homeless. Police said he is known to frequent casinos.

If you have any information concerning Wagner's whereabouts contact Watertown police at 860-945-5200.

nampn.org doesn't have any more information:

I can't find much else on this guy but a possible?
 
Does anyone know what kind of bandages they were? ex. Ace bandages, Gauze Bandages, Adhesive bandages....

Are they bandages, as in like ACE bandages? Gauze? I know that when you have been through a surgery, or are immobile for a long period of time they use wraps to keep blood clots from forming in your lungs. So if he had hurt his foot, and was told to stay off it, some docs might have those to be on the safe side.
 
It says he was partially skeletonized and partially mummified so I'm guessing it could go either way re:the tattoos depending on whether the body part skeletonized.
