Peter Heslin is listed in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System as an unclaimed person associated with Queens, New York. The case notes that his body was found on August 3, 2025, and the entry was created in NamUs on September 2, 2025. The listed investigating agency is the New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner with the agency case number Q-25-023305.
The NamUs record provides minimal descriptive information: hair and eye color are recorded as unknown, no distinctive physical features are entered, and there are no clothing or accessory details on file. No additional case information or images are included in the public entry beyond these basics.
As the case owner, OCME is the municipal authority responsible for custodial care of unidentified and unclaimed remains across New York City. OCME’s mortuary services oversee such cases, and its Family Outreach Unit works to locate and notify next of kin so that identified decedents can be released for final arrangements. The agency is listed on the case with its First Avenue address and main phone number, consistent with OCME’s role and public information about its services.
NamUs categorizes “unclaimed persons” as individuals who have been identified by name but for whom family has not yet been located or has not come forward to claim the remains—context that helps explain why a named decedent like Heslin appears in the database. OCME participates in entering New York City unclaimed cases into NamUs to facilitate public awareness and potential family contact.
