Article Synopsis
- The New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner (NYC OCME) investigates around 9,000-10,000 deaths annually, with a focus on formal identification processes.
- While most cases are resolved using standard protocols, there are still many long-term unidentified persons that require in-depth investigations combining both postmortem and antemortem data.
- Over the past seven years, NYC OCME has successfully identified over 80 long-term unidentified persons by employing a flexible yet systematic approach, showcasing effective investigative strategies that could benefit other jurisdictions facing similar challenges.
