Morris J. Harvey is recorded in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System as an identified but unclaimed decedent associated with the Bronx, New York. The NamUs case lists him by name and notes that he is male, with the case explicitly tied to the borough as the location he was “from.” According to the case entry, his body was found on July 19, 2025, and the profile does not provide age, birthdate, race/ethnicity, hair or eye color, or other distinguishing physical features. The sections for clothing, accessories, and images contain no entries, reflecting that no descriptive items were documented publicly at the time of posting. The case is cataloged as Unclaimed Person / NamUs #UCP149701.
Jurisdiction over the case belongs to New York City’s Office of Chief Medical Examiner. The NamUs listing names OCME as the case owner, provides its office address at 520 First Avenue, New York, NY 10016, and lists the agency case number B-25-021882. The entry does not include a narrative of discovery circumstances or a reported date other than the date the body was found. With no demographic profile or medical and clothing details publicly posted, the record emphasizes the core status: identified by name yet unclaimed, with efforts focused on locating next of kin to take custody of remains.
NamUs and OCME describe unclaimed-person cases as those in which the decedent’s identity is known but family has not been identified or located to claim the remains. OCME directs families and the public to NamUs for information on New York City unclaimed cases and explains that the database is used by medical examiners and coroners to connect decedents with relatives. This framing underscores why cases like Harvey’s appear in NamUs even when identification is established: the need to find relatives and arrange appropriate final disposition.
The NamUs entry for Harvey indicates no uploaded documents or photographs and lists no contributor notes, leaving the public case file concise and administrative in tone. In addition to the NamUs number, the listing provides OCME’s main phone line for inquiries, signaling that any lead regarding relatives or contacts who knew Harvey could assist authorities in resolving the unclaimed status. As of the most recent publicly visible snapshot, the case remains posted with minimal descriptive data beyond his name, association with the Bronx, the date of recovery, and OCME’s case reference.
