On May 23, 2016, the body of a male, identified as Andrew P. Corbett, was discovered in New York City. Despite efforts by the authorities, the case remains classified as an unclaimed person case under NamUs ID: UCP2710. As no one has come forward to claim Andrew or arrange for his final memorialization, the case remains open, drawing attention to the complex world of unclaimed persons in a city as vast and populous as New York.
The investigation is led by the Office of Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) of New York City, an agency entrusted with determining the cause of death and managing such sensitive cases. The office is located at 520 First Avenue, New York, New York. The agency operates with a goal of uncovering the circumstances surrounding each unclaimed case, acting as a custodian of sorts for those who have passed without immediate next of kin or those who remain unidentified before the community.
For further information about the case or to potentially provide information that could lead to the identification or claiming of Andrew P. Corbett by relatives or friends, the Office of Chief Medical Examiner welcomes contact. They can be reached at 212-447-2030. The OCME's website provides additional resources and information about their work with unclaimed individuals and broader investigations at https://www.nyc.gov/site/ocme/index.page. The case, identified internally as M-16-3103, continues to seek resolution, perhaps waiting for that one vital piece of information that could offer closure and dignity to Andrew's story.
