A man was found dead Wednesday morning at a popular Millcreek park — wearing nothing but a single gold ring on his finger.

Police are now asking for help in identifying him, hoping that someone will recognize the unique piece of jewelry. It features a square design surrounding an inset diamond.

“We wish we had something more,” said Unified Police Sgt. Melody Gray. “But we’re hoping that ring is something.”

A man walking on a trail near Big Cottonwood Regional Park, 4720 S. 1590 East, discovered the body while chasing his dog into a nearby grove of trees at 7:30 a.
