On November 29, 2018, the remains of an individual later identified as Gurcharan Singh were discovered in Jamaica, New York. The discovery of the deceased male has been a subject of inquiry for several years, as no next of kin or personal connections have been established to claim Singh's body. This case, listed under the Namus ID UCP54917, remains open and has garnered the attention of the New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner, which seeks assistance from the public to resolve the situation.
The agency's objective has been to identify any living relatives or acquaintances of Gurcharan Singh who might be able to provide further insight or claim the body for a proper burial. Despite tireless efforts and the passage of time, the search for information on Singh's connections has been challenging. The case is filed under the agency case number Q-18-028202, and it remains a priority as the office continues its work to bring closure to this unclaimed person case.
Those in possession of any information pertaining to Gurcharan Singh or his possible family members are urged to contact the Office of Chief Medical Examiner in New York City. The agency can be reached at their main office, located at 520 First Avenue, New York, New York, or by phone at 212-447-2030. Further details about the case and ways to assist can be found on the agency's official website at https://www.nyc.gov/site/ocme/index.page.
