On October 28, 2022, a poignant discovery was made in the town of Aiea, Hawaii, as the body of Frederick Keawe Miya was found unresponsive in a homeless encampment situated within a public park. This case, identified under Namus ID: UCP101983, has highlighted the often-overlooked struggles faced by individuals experiencing homelessness. The circumstances surrounding Frederick's death have led to an urgent appeal for locating his next of kin, as he was found without any identification or contacts in the vicinity.
The investigative responsibility for this unclaimed person case has been assumed by the Department of the Medical Examiner in Honolulu, Hawaii. This agency, located at 835 Iwilei Road, operates with a dedicated team seeking to piece together the narrative of Frederick's later years. Despite the efforts of the medical examiner’s office, as of yet, no next of kin has come forward to claim the body or provide insight into Frederick's past. This highlights the critical importance of community involvement in potentially reconnecting Frederick with any surviving family members or acquaintances.
The entire case bears the agency number 2022-2924 and is part of a broader mission to ensure that Frederick's end is dignified and remembered. For those having known Frederick, or with information that could lead to the identification of his next of kin, the department encourages reaching out via their contact number at 808-768-3090. Additional details and updates can be accessed through their website at https://www.honolulu.gov/med. The call to action remains clear: reuniting Frederick Keawe Miya with his family in spirit, by seeking those who knew and could honor his memory.
