On June 20, 2025, the body of an unidentified male—now recorded under the name Lawrence Boniface—was discovered in Queens, New York. The Office of Chief Medical Examiner of New York City took jurisdiction over the case, which has since been classified as an unclaimed person investigation. Despite efforts to identify and connect the individual with any known next of kin, his remains continue to be held without a confirmed claimant.
The case has been formally cataloged under the Agency Case Number Q-25-019550 and the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System ID UCP147463. As of now, no personal connections or familial affiliations have been verified, leaving many questions about Lawrence Boniface’s life, background, and circumstances surrounding his death.
Anyone with information regarding this individual, or who believes they may be related or have knowledge of his identity, is urged to contact the New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner. The agency can be reached at 212-447-2030 and is located at 520 First Avenue, New York, NY. Additional resources and information are available through their official website: NYC OCME.
Cases like these underscore the vital importance of public awareness and collaboration when it comes to identifying and reclaiming those lost to society’s margins. Every lead may hold the key to closure, not just for agencies, but for families who may not yet know what became of their loved one.
