In Honolulu, Hawaii, the remains of Roland M. Johnson were discovered on September 9, 2023, in a case that has so far not identified any next of kin. The decedent, possibly a transgender female, though biologically male, was experiencing homelessness at the time of their death. This unfortunate circumstance has added complexity to the task of identifying next of kin and rendering appropriate respect and closure to Roland's life.
The case, cataloged under the Namus ID UCP110208, is actively being handled by the Department of the Medical Examiner in Honolulu. The agency, located at 835 Iwilei Road, is working diligently to gather more information about Roland's life and to reach out to any possible family members or friends who can claim him. Their goal is not just to find closure but also to honor Roland's identity and experiences throughout his life.
If anyone has information that could aid in connecting Roland M. Johnson to his family or enhancing the understanding of his personal history, they are urged to contact the Department of the Medical Examiner. The agency can be reached at their contact number, 808-768-3090, and further details can be explored on their website at https://www.honolulu.gov/med.
