On March 18, 2016, the Office of Chief Medical Examiner in New York City was presented with the case of an unidentified male, whose body was discovered in Brooklyn, New York. Despite thorough investigations and efforts by the authorities, this individual, known for record-keeping purposes as "Hiram Mas", remains unclaimed. The situation is handled under the Agency Case Number B16-1354, and the details are archived in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) with the Identification Number UCP2341.
The New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner, located at 520 First Avenue, is responsible for investigating this case. As a medical examiner agency, they work diligently to establish the identity of the deceased, seeking any information that could close the case and bring clarity to what happened on or before that day in March. The discovery circumstances and lack of identifying information initially presented a significant challenge, leaving Hiram Mas without an identity or known relatives to claim him.
Despite these challenges, efforts continue on multiple fronts to gather more information and engage the community in this process. The Office encourages anyone with potential leads or relevant information to contact them directly at 212-447-2030. Those seeking further details can also access their resources and support via the agency's website at https://www.nyc.gov/site/ocme/index.page. The collaborative spirit of this initiative emphasizes the broader goal of providing dignity and closure not only to the deceased but also to any families who might be searching for their missing loved one.
