On December 27, 2014, in Honolulu, Hawaii, an unfortunate discovery was made that would lead to an ongoing case of an unclaimed person. The deceased, identified as Nelson Ordonez-Fernandez, was found in circumstances that suggested a natural death. Despite the conclusion of natural causes, the case has struggled to reach closure due to the lack of claims from family members or associates.
The Honolulu Department of the Medical Examiner was tasked with handling this case, which was assigned the agency case number 14-2315. The department, located at 835 Iwilei Road, serves the community by investigating deaths and working to identify unclaimed individuals.

Efforts to locate relatives or individuals who might have connections to Mr. Ordonez-Fernandez have been met with challenges, leaving the case open within NamUs, a national clearinghouse and resource center for missing, unidentified, and unclaimed person cases, under the ID UCP4947. For those seeking more information or wishing to provide leads, the Department of the Medical Examiner encourages contact through their official channels, including their contact number at 808-768-3090 or their website at https://www.honolulu.gov/med.
