On October 15, 2019, the decedent identified as Vincent Scott Male was found deceased in his residence located in St. Louis City, Missouri. The discovery was made by the landlord, who noticed the body in an advanced state of decomposition. Following this grim discovery, no overt signs of trauma or foul play were identified at the scene. Given the condition of the body, it was clear that Vincent Scott Male had been deceased for some time before being found.

With no immediate family or next-of-kin available to claim the body, the case was handed over to the St. Louis City Medical Examiner's Office, situated at 1300 Clark Avenue in St. Louis, Missouri. The office, functioning under the agency case number 2019-2322, was tasked with the storage and identification of the body. Despite efforts by authorities to locate and inform any relatives, these attempts were futile, leaving the deceased unclaimed. As is often the case in such situations, the office was left with the challenging decision of how to proceed with the final disposition of Vincent Scott Male's remains.

Ultimately, Vincent Scott Male was laid to rest in Calvary Cemetery. This measure was taken as a humane solution in the absence of relatives to make burial arrangements. While the specifics of his life and how he came to be in his residence at the time remain unknown, the unclaimed status highlights the importance of community and familial bonds. The Medical Examiner's office, reachable at 314-622-4975, may still hold information necessary for any potential relatives or acquaintances seeking closure or information regarding Vincent Scott Male.
