On July 3, 2019, the body of Arden Gorfinkle was discovered in his residence in Tewksbury, Massachusetts. The discovery was made during a well-being check conducted by the Tewksbury Police Department. Despite efforts to identify next of kin or acquaintances who could take responsibility for Gorfinkle's remains, the case remains unresolved, leaving him as an unclaimed person.
The Massachusetts Office of Chief Medical Examiner, located at 720 Albany Street in Boston, Massachusetts, is the agency responsible for handling the case, which has been designated Agency Case Number 2019-8419. This office, a part of the state's public health infrastructure, is tasked with investigating deaths, such as Gorfinkle's, to determine cause and manner and to provide a pathway for identifying next of kin. As his body has not been claimed, the Massachusetts medical examiner's office continues to manage the case under Namus ID: UCP58594, in hopes of reaching a resolution.
The Tewksbury Police Department's involvement was pivotal in uncovering the fact that Arden Gorfinkle had passed away, although it has not yet led to the identification of family or friends who might otherwise take responsibility for his remains. The Massachusetts Office of the Chief Medical Examiner continues to seek closure in this case, providing its contact number, 617-267-6767, and a web portal at https://www.mass.gov/orgs/office-of-the-chief-medical-examiner for any additional information the public might be able to provide to assist in this matter.
