In the early part of December 2023, a male body was discovered in Bayamón, Puerto Rico. The deceased has been identified through preliminary investigations as Jose Andino Acevedo. His remains were found on the 6th of December, in a bed, although the circumstances leading to his death remain unclear and under investigation. This case, marked by the absence of immediate identifiers or claimants, has positioned Acevedo as an unclaimed person, leaving authorities in a race against time to uncover details about his life and potential connections.

As the primary agency responsible, the Institute is seeking information that might shed light on the deceased’s personal history and any next of kin who might come forward to claim his remains.
