On July 1, 2024, a male decedent identified by Namus ID UCP131197 was discovered in Los Angeles, California. Thai-Ngoc Nguyen was found by a building maintenance worker in a small, enclosed space above an electrical panel, suggesting that he had been living there for some time. This unexpected discovery led to a call to 911, and upon the arrival of emergency services, he was pronounced deceased at the scene.
The circumstances surrounding Nguyen's living situation remain unclear, and his identity as well as background have led to efforts to locate his next of kin.
