On June 23, 2026, a somber discovery was made in Washington, District of Columbia, when the body of Gary Lorenzo Duncan was found in his residence. Duncan, whose last known alive date is undetermined, was reported by the property manager who had not seen him in a while. Concerned for his wellbeing, they decided to contact the authorities for a welfare check. Accompanied by the Metropolitan Police Department the property manager used a spare key to enter Duncan's residence and found him deceased.
The case was immediately taken over by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, located at 401 E Street, SW, Washington, DC. Assigned the Agency Case Number 26-01652 and Namus ID: UCP160490, the case drew attention due to the lack of readily available information about Duncan's last moments and the circumstances leading up to his demise. The Medical Examiner’s office, reachable at 202-698-9000 and through their website at https://ocme.dc.gov/, began their investigation into the matter, aiming to shed light on the events that led to Duncan's death.
The focus of the investigation was to piece together a timeline and understand the conditions surrounding Duncan's death. Given that his body had gone unclaimed, there was an inherent challenge in identifying any next of kin or friends who could provide further insight. As the examination progressed, the agency worked diligently to ensure that all avenues were explored to ultimately provide answers and bring closure to Gary Lorenzo Duncan's case.
