On May 18, 2022, an unidentified male body was discovered in the Bronx, New York, sparking a thorough investigation undertaken by the Office of Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) of New York City. The deceased was identified as Arthur Petrillo, but despite establishing his identity, authorities have not been able to locate any next of kin or family members to claim his body. This unfortunate situation places the case under unclaimed persons with his Namus ID being UCP92615.
The OCME, located at 520 First Avenue in New York City, has taken the lead in this investigation, embodying its role in providing forensic pathology and related services to aid in the identification of deceased individuals and notifying next of kin. The agency has been employing various strategies in its attempt to trace any living relatives or individuals who might be familiar with Arthur Petrillo. Despite these efforts, Arthur's case remains unresolved, raising concerns not only about the closure for potential family members but also about the care and eventual final arrangements for his remains.
Concerned citizens or anyone with pertinent information regarding Arthur Petrillo are encouraged to come forward.
