On September 11, 2022, the body of an unclaimed male, later identified as Paul D. Alexander, was discovered in Knoxville, Tennessee. Despite efforts by local authorities, attempts to locate and notify any next of kin were unsuccessful, leaving the case unresolved and the deceased unclaimed. This peculiar and somber situation is being managed by the Knoxville Police Department, which is actively seeking any leads or information that might help connect the late Alexander to any family or acquaintances he might have had.
The Knoxville Police Department, situated at 1650 Huron Street, is handling this case with reference number 22-033988. They have been entrusted with the responsibility not only of the investigation but also of ensuring that Alexander receives a dignified handling of his remains. Given the absence of known relatives, the department has facilitated an indigent donation for final arrangements. This course of action underscores the department’s commitment to treating the deceased with respect, even in the face of such challenging circumstances.
Individuals or parties that might possess relevant information are encouraged to reach out to the department directly by calling 865-215-7000.
