Despite the passage of time, his remains have remained unclaimed, and his case is recorded under Namus ID: UCP2660. Holmes succumbed to natural causes, specifically atherosclerotic coronary vascular disease, a condition in which plaque builds up in the arteries, leading to reduced blood flow to the heart and potential heart failure.
